Matthew 13:20-22

20The one sown with seed on the rocky places, this is the one 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 occurs because of the 1word, immediately he 23falls away.

22And the one sown with seed among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of 4the 5world and the 6deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it 7becomes unfruitful.
