Verse 15
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it , and bring forth fruit with patience.
Ver. 15. In an honest ] Referred to the end and intent in the action.
And good heart ] In respect of inward renewed qualities.
Having heard the word, keep it ] As food or physic, which if not kept, profiteth not. They incorporate it into their souls, so as it becomes an ingrafted word; they are transformed into the same image, conformed to the heavenly pattern.
With patience ] Or, with tarriance for the fit season, εν υπομονη . Not as that first ripe fruit, Luke 8:13 ; Psalms 129:6-7
