# the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word

The words "cares," "deceitfulness," and "desires" are spoken of as if they were weeds that wrap around plants and keep them from growing. Alternate translation: "the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke God's message in their lives like thorns that choke young plants" 

# the cares of the world

"the worries in this life" or "the concerns about this present life"

# the deceitfulness of wealth

"the lie that wealth will make them happy" or "the lie that having many possessions will make them happy"

# it is unproductive

"the word does not produce a crop in them." The word being unproductive means that it does not have an effect on the person's life.
