>το δε εις τας ακανθας πεσον ουτοι εισιν οι ακουσαντες και **υπο μεριμνων και πλουτου και ηδονων του βιου** πορευομενοι συμπνιγονται και ου τελεσφορουσιν > >Luke 8:14 TR-Stephens 1550, Beza 1598, Elzevir 1624 and Scrivener 1894 are all identical. > >KJV 1769 Luke 8:14 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. In the above, does 'of life' refer just to the pleasures or does it also refer, grammatically, to the cares and the riches ?
