Luke 8:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.

¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.

¹⁵ But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.
