⁵ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

³ if indeed you have ^(A)tasted that the Lord is gracious.

¹³ But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of ^[a]temptation fall away.

²⁰ But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately ^(A)receives it with joy; ²¹ yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when ^(B)tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately ^(C)he stumbles.

²⁰ For if, after they ^(A)have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are ^(B)again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.
