Exegesis
The closing clause akarpos ginetai {ἄκαρπος γίνεται | ákarpos gínetai} uses a predicate adjective with a middle/passive verb to express the resultant state of the person, framed in agricultural imagery of failed fruit-bearing. The English renderings preserve this progression—identification of the hearer, description of competing influences, and the resultant condition—while making implicit subjects explicit and converting articular participles into finite clauses for clarity.
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.
