9. C. Yesu longc domh mbiungc-nziaaux caux biauv zoux waac-beiv yiem ninh nyei setv mueiz zunh doz nyei waac. Jesus made a parallel between storms and buildings at the end of His sermon - Mt 7:24-27:
1. Ninh kuinx mienh oix zuqc ei jienv Ninh njaaux nyei jauv zoux. As He sought to encourage people to act upon His sayings.
2. Ninh bun mienh hiuv duqv muangx caux ei jienv zoux nyei jauv ndongc haaix maiv fih hnangv. Contrasting the difference between those who were doers and not just listeners. 9

D. Yiem naaiv ginc hoqc nyei jauv, yie oix naaic deix waac meih mbuo. In this lesson, I wish to address the following questions:
1. Mienh guai mienh caux mienh hngongx mienh gomv nyei biauv se beiv taux haaix nyungc? What do the "houses" of the wise and foolish builders represent?
2. Yesu gorngv domh nziaaux nyei jauv se ninh gorngv taux haaix nyungc? What "storms" is Jesus talking about?
3. Mbuo hnangv haaix nor haih gomv biauv daaih domh mbiungc nziaaux buonc yaac maiv mbaang? How can we "build" so as to be able to withstand the storms? 10

13. I. Cong-Mengh Mienh Gomv Nyei Biauv
I. Cong-Mengh Mienh Gomv Nyei Biauv. The Wise Man Build His House (Matthew 7:24-25).
"Hnangv naaiv, haaix dauh haiz liuz yie naaiv deix waac, yaac ei jienv zoux, se hnangv yietc dauh cong-mengh nyei mienh gomv biauv la'bieiv-baengh gu'nguaaic. Duih domh mbiungc, wuom hlo guaatv, borngz domh nziaaux buonc biauv, biauv yaac maiv mbaang, weic zuqc gomv la'bieiv-baengh gu'nguaaic.”
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” 13

14. II. Mienh Hngongx Mienh Gomv Biauv. Foolish Builder (Matthew 7:26-27).
"Mv baac haaix dauh haiz liuz yie naaiv deix waac yaac maiv ei jienv zoux, ziouc hnangv dauh mienh hngongx mienh nor. Naaiv dauh gomv biauv yiem saa-ziou gu'nguaaic. Duih domh mbiungc, wuom hlo guaatv, borngz domh nziaaux buonc biauv, biauv ziouc mbaang. Lomz! lomz nyei mbaang mi'aqv."
“But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." 14

12 If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,” (NIV) 18

19. 13 Taux Siemv Zuiz Hnoi, gorqv-mienh zoux nyei gong oix biux mengh cuotv daaih, weic zuqc wuov norm Hnoi douz oix seix dauh dauh nyei gong hnangv haaix nor.

14 If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.” (NIV) 20
