Matthew 13:22-23

22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but ¹the cares of ²the world and ³the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.

23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and ⁴understands it. He indeed ⁵bears fruit and yields, in one case ⁶a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."
