  2. 16And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;
  3. 17and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
  4. 18And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
  5. 19and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
