Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Berean Study Bible (BSB) - Matthew 13:21 >But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
Textus Receptus (TR) - Matthew 13:21 >οὐκ ἔχει δὲ ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιρός ἐστι· γενομένης δὲ θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον, εὐθὺς σκανδαλίζεται.
