LUKE 6:48 dia. to. kalw/j oivkodomh/sqai auvth,n {A} The distinctively Lukan clause assigning the reason for the permanence of the house (“because it had been well built”), which corresponds to the earlier statement concerning the builder’s industry (“dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock”),...
