Matthew 13:20-22

RKJNT(i) 20 The seed sown upon stony places is he who hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy; 21 Yet he has no root in himself, and endures only for a while: when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he falls away. 22 The seed sown among the thorns is he who hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
