Matthew 13:21

21But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

21yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution occurs because of the 13:21 I.e., messageword, immediately he 13:21 I.e., from the faithfalls away.

21yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

21yet he has no [substantial] root in himself, but is only temporary, and when pressure or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles and falls away [abandoning the One who is the source of salvation].

21But they have no roots. So they last only a short time. They quickly fall away from the faith when trouble or suffering comes because of the message.
