Matthew 13:20-22

ECB(i) 20 And that spored on the rocky is whoever hears the word: and straightway takes it with cheer; 21 yet has he no root in himself but is temporary: for when tribulation or persecution become because of the word, he is straightway scandalized. 22 And that spored in the thorns is whoever hears the word: and the anxiety of this eon and the deceitfulness of riches strangle the word; and he becomes unfruitful.
