KJV with Strongs
(14) And the ones falling into the thorn-plants, these are ones who've heard and going out are drowned under concerns, riches, livelihood pleasures and produce no mature fruit.
The F.O.G
The thorny soil represents those whose spiritual growth is stunted by life's distractions – worry about finances, pursuit of success, addiction to pleasure, and daily stress prevent them from producing spiritual fruit.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.
