路加福音第六章第46—49节，耶稣问门徒们说：“你们为什么称呼我主啊主啊，却不遵我的话行呢？” 既然愿意作耶稣的门徒，就应该按老师所教导的去做。可见，耶稣问的这个问题很到位。比如，耶稣屡次教导门徒们和众人要爱那些恨你们的人，要爱那些不爱你们的人，要善待那些不善待你们的人，借债不要指望偿还，不要论断人，不要定人的罪。耶稣为罪人献出了自己的生命，把罪人当朋友，为朋友舍命。耶稣舍己救了我们，相比于耶稣为我们所受的苦，门徒们受些苦又算的了什么呢？彼得说我们不要以恶报恶或以辱骂还辱骂，倒要祝福，因我们正是为此蒙召，好叫我们承受福气。耶稣说听见他的话就去行的好比一个人盖房子，深深的挖地，把根基安在盘石上，到发大水的时候，水冲那房子，房子总不能摇动 ，因为根基立在盘石上；听见耶稣的话不去行的，就像一个人在土地上盖房子，没有根基，水一冲随即倒塌了。

路6:46 你们为甚么称呼我主阿、主阿、却不遵我的话行呢。
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say?
路6:47 凡到我这里来、听见我的话就去行的、我要告诉你们他像甚么人、
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.
路6:48 他像一个人盖房子、深深的挖地、把根基安在盘石上．到发大水的时候、水冲那房子、房子总不能摇动．因为根基立在盘石上。〔有古卷作因为盖造得好〕
He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.
路6:49 惟有听见不去行的、就像一个人在土地上盖房子、没有根基．水一冲、随即倒塌了、并且那房子坏的很大。
But he who hears, and doesn't do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
彼前2:21 你们蒙召原是为此．因基督也为你们受过苦、给你们留下榜样、叫你们跟随他的脚踪行．
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
彼前3:9 不以恶报恶、以辱骂还辱骂、倒要祝福．因你们是为此蒙召、好叫你们承受福气。
not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
