1 Corinthians 10 1-1 Corinthians 10 5
Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.They all ate the same spiritual food,and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.But God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.

Matthew 7:24-27
“ Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock.The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock.But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse was great!”

Matthew 13:19-23
When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one sown along the path.And the one sown on rocky ground— this is one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.Yet he has no root in himself, but is short-lived. When pressure or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles.Now the one sown among the thorns— this is one who hears the word, but the worries of this age and the seduction of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.But the one sown on the good ground— this is one who hears and understands the word, who does bear fruit and yields: some 100, some 60, some 30 times what was sown.”

Matthew 13:38-43
the field is the world; and the good seed— these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.Therefore, just as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather from His kingdom everything that causes sin and those guilty of lawlessness.They will throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Anyone who has ears should listen!

So those slaves went out on the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding banquet was filled with guests.But when the king came in to view the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding.
