Parallel
Mark 4:17
Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine Textform · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιροί εἰσιν· εἶτα γενομένης θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον, εὐθέως σκανδαλίζονται.
But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
