Matthew Chapter 13, Verse 21
From BibleWiki
21: ουκ εχει δε ριζαν εν εαυτω αλλα προσκαιρος εστιν γενομενης δε θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζεται
21: 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.
21: Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when
there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is
presently scandalized.
Is offended. That is, stumbles and falls. Persecution and trial are placed in his path, and he falls as he would over a stumbling-block, he has not strength of principle enough - not confidence in God to carry him through them.
