Matthew 13:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, eventually he falls away. ²² He also who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. ²³ But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit. Some produce a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”
