WPNT(i)
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand, the malignant one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart—this is the seed sown alongside the road.
20 But the seed sown on stony places—this is he who hears the word and directly receives it with joy,
21 but he has no root in himself and is short-lived; for when trial or persecution comes because of the word, directly he is offended.
22 But the seed sown among the thorns—this is he who hears the word, but the care of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke out the word, and it becomes fruitless.
