Matthew 13:20-22

20The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

21yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the 1word, immediately he 23falls away.

22And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of 4the 5world and the 6deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
