NETBible

But as for the seed that landed on good soil, these are the ones who, after hearing¹ the word, cling to it² with an honest and good³ heart, and bear fruit with steadfast endurance.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn The aorist participle ἀκούσαντες (akousante") has been taken temporally, reflecting action antecedent (prior to) that of the main verb.

²sn There is a tenacity that is a part of spiritual fruitfulness.

³sn In an ancient context, the qualifier good described the ethical person who possessed integrity. Here it is integrity concerning God’s revelation through Jesus.

⁴sn Given the pressures noted in the previous soils, bearing fruit takes time (steadfast endurance), just as it does for the farmer. See Jas 1:2-4.
