Luke 8:13-15

English Standard Version

¹³ And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it ^(A)with joy. But these have no root; they ^(B)believe for a while, and in time of testing ^(C)fall away. ¹⁴ And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but ^(D)as they go on their way they are choked by the ^(E)cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. ¹⁵ As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and ^(F)bear fruit ^(G)with patience.
