Matthew 13:20-22

21st Century King James Version

²⁰ But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the Word and at once with joy receiveth it;

²¹ yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while. For when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the Word, by and by he loses faith.

²² He also that received the seed among the thorns is he that heareth the Word; and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the Word, and he becometh unfruitful.
