They are those who hear the word, 19 but (F)the cares of (G)the world and (H)the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and (I)bear fruit, (J)thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
