Mark 4:17

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

But they don't have deep roots, so they only last for a while. As soon as life gets hard or people give them trouble because of God's word, they immediately get offended and walk away.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Without deep roots, you'll bail the moment following God gets uncomfortable.
