1 Corinthians 10 1-1 Corinthians 10 5
Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;and all ate the same spiritual food;and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Matthew 7:24-27
“ Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell— and great was its fall.”

Matthew 13:19-23
When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

Matthew 13:38-43
the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13:47-48
“ Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

Matthew 22:10-11
Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
