Luke 8:13-15

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹³ And the people on the bed-rock are ones who are welcoming the word with joy when they hear it. And these do not have a root— they are ones who are believing for a time, and are departing^[a] in a time of testing^[b]. ¹⁴ And the seed having fallen into the thorns— these people are the ones having heard, and while proceeding are being choked by the anxieties^[c] and riches and pleasures of life. And they are not bringing-fruit-to-maturity. ¹⁵ And the seed in the good soil— these people are ones who, having heard the word in a good and fertile heart, are holding-on-to it and bearing-fruit with endurance.
