Mark 4:17

And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.

and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.

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.
