Kalos (G 2570) found in Mt 13: 8, 23 and Mk 4: 8, 20. Kalos is translated to mean “beautiful by reason of purity of heart and life, and hence praiseworthy, morally good, noble”.
 Agathos (G 18), which is  found in Lk 8: 8, 15.

Jesus ended the parable of the sower by teaching about the seeds that fell into good ground:
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pppministries.wordpress.com&blog=1333779&post=1173&subd=pppministries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
