Exegesis
Two coordinated nominative phrases, he merimna tou aionos toutou and he apate tou ploutou {ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου | hē mérimna tou aiônos toútou kaí hē apátē tou ploútou}, serve as compound subjects; each consists of a head noun modified by a genitive construction that specifies the sphere (“of this age”) and the source (“of wealth”) of the hindrances.
In context — Matthew 13:22
But the one sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the care of this age and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
