“Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.”
Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved — the path people: hear, then the devil comes and takes away. So that they may not believe and be saved: Luke's formulation makes the salvation connection explicit — the purpose of the devil's removal is to prevent faith that would produce salvation.
