Matthew 13:21-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
21 And he does not have a root in himself, but is temporary[a]. And affliction or persecution having come about because of the word— immediately he is caused-to-fall. 22 And the one having been sown the seed into the thorns— this person is the one hearing the word, and the anxiety[b] of the age[c] and the deceitfulness[d] of riches is choking the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 23 And the one having been sown the seed on the good soil— this person is the one hearing the word and understanding[e] it, who indeed[f] is bearing-fruit[g] and producing: one a hundred, and another sixty, and another thirty”.
