Matthew 13:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ But he does not have a root in himself, but lasts only a little while,^[a] and when^[b] affliction or persecution happens because of the word, immediately he falls away. ²² And what was sown into the thorn plants—this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of this world^[c] and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word and it becomes unproductive. ²³ But what was sown on the good soil—this is the one who hears the word and understands it,^[d] who indeed bears fruit and produces, this one a hundred times as much, and this one sixty, and this one thirty.”
