Luke 8:13-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; ^[a]they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. ¹⁴ The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. ¹⁵ But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with ^[b]perseverance.
