Matthew 7:24-27 MKJV
(24) Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. (25) And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it did not fall, for it was founded on a rock. (26) And everyone who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them shall be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand. (27) And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the wind blew and beat on that house. And it fell, and great was its fall.

Matthew 7:24-27 ALT
(24) "Therefore, every [one] who hears these words of Mine and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house on the solid rock; (25) and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded on the solid rock. (26) "And every [one] hearing these words of Mine and not doing them will be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand; (27) and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell, and its fall was great."

Matthew 7:24-27 BBE
(24) Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock; (25) And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock. (26) And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand; (27) And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

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.
