‏ Matthew 7:24-27

And doeth them ( κα ποιε αυτους ). That is the point in the parable of the wise builder, "who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock" (Lu 6:48).

Was founded ( τεθεμελιωτο ). Past perfect indicative passive state of completion in the past. It had been built upon the rock and it stood. No augment.

And doeth them not ( κα μη ποιων αυτους ). The foolish builder put his house on the sands that could not hold in the storm. One is reminded of the words of Jesus at the beginning of the Sermon in 5:19 about the one "who does and teaches." Hearing sermons is a dangerous business if one does not put them into practice.
