Luke 6:46-49 CEV Why do you keep on saying that I am your Lord, when you refuse to do what I say? (47) Anyone who comes and listens to me and obeys me (48) is like someone who dug down deep and built a house on solid rock. When the flood came and the river rushed against the house, it was built so well that it didn't even shake. (49) But anyone who hears what I say and doesn't obey me is like someone whose house wasn't built on solid rock. As soon as the river rushed against that house, it was smashed to pieces!
Luke 6:46-49 GNB "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and yet don't do what I tell you? (47) Anyone who comes to me and listens to my words and obeys them---I will show you what he is like. (48) He is like a man who, in building his house, dug deep and laid the foundation on rock. The river flooded over and hit that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. (49) But anyone who hears my words and does not obey them is like a man who built his house without laying a foundation; when the flood hit that house it fell at once---and what a terrible crash that was!"
Luke 6:46-49 GW "Why do you call me Lord but don't do what I tell you? (47) "I will show you what everyone who comes to me, hears what I say, and obeys it is like. (48) He is like a person who dug down to bedrock to lay the foundation of his home. When a flood came, the floodwaters pushed against that house. But the house couldn't be washed away because it had a good foundation. (49) The person who hears what I say but doesn't obey it is like someone who built a house on the ground without any foundation. The floodwaters pushed against it, and that house quickly collapsed and was destroyed."
Luke 6:46-49 BBE Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (47) Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like: (48) He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good. (49) But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.
Luke 6:46-49 ESV "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you? (47) Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: (48) he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. (49) But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
