and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

and if it shall bear fruit but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.

For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.
