“And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:15 Who - keep it - Not like the highway side: And bring forth fruit - Not like the thorny ground: With perseverance - Not like the stony.
8:16 No man having lighted a candle - As if ho had said, And let your good fruit appear openly. #Mt 5:15|; Mr 4:21; Lu 11:33.
