Matthew 13:21

The Message Bible MSG

New International Version NIV

21 But there is no soil of character, and so when the emotions wear off and some difficulty arrives, there is nothing to show for it.

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