Matthew 13:18-22

18“1ListenG191 thenG3767 to the parableG3850 of the sowerG4687.

19When anyoneG3956 hearsG191 2the 3wordG3056 of the kingdomG932 and does not understandG4920 it, 4the evilG4190 one comesG2064 and snatchesG726 awayG726 whatG3588 has been sownG4687 in his heartG2588. ThisG3778 is the one sownG4687 with seed besideG3844 the roadG3598.

20The one sownG4687 with seed on the rockyG4075 places, thisG3778 is the one who hearsG191 the wordG3056 and immediatelyG2117 receivesG2983 it with joyG5479;

21yetG1161 he hasG2192 noG3756 firm rootG4491 in himselfG1438, but is only temporaryG4340, and when afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 occursG1096 becauseG1223 of the 5wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 he 6 7fallsG4624 awayG4624.

22And the one sownG4687 with seed amongG1519 the thornsG173, thisG3778 is the one who hearsG191 the wordG3056, and the anxietyG3308 of 8the 9worldG165 and the 10deceitfulnessG539 of wealthG4149 chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and it 11becomesG1096 unfruitfulG175.
