Matthew 13:21-23

Jubilee Bible 2000

²¹ yet he has no root in himself but is temporal, for when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended.

²² And he that was planted among the thorns is he that hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

²³ But he that was planted in good ground is he that hears the word and understands it and who also bears the fruit and brings forth: one a hundredfold and another sixty and another thirty.
