Those who listen to Christ's words,
then go to act upon those words;
these have built a solid foundation.

Their house shall not be moved,
it shall be established forever;
they shall dwell within this house,
and always be favored by God.

The ones who go forth preaching,
but have not established their home;
are leaders of hypocrisy,
blind leaders of the blind,
these lead others into Hell.

But a virtuous man,
establishes his home;
then invites many others.

First, he built his own home,
by practicing his virtues;
then he leads other to himself.

Such a one is wise,
and his words echo;
the words of Jesus Christ.

The fool only speaks the words,
but does not act upon them;
so holds no wisdom,
and when he speaks true words,
men look not upon his words,
but they look upon his actions,
which are not based in any truth,
and imitate his actions.
