Mark 4:17 · Rotherham Emphasised Bible
Mark 4:17 in other translations
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.
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.
They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

In context
14 The sower, soweth the word;
15 And these are they beside the pathway where the word is sown,—and, as soon as they hear, straightway, cometh Satan, and snatcheth away the word which hath been sown into them;
16 And these are likewise they upon the rocky places sown,—who, as soon as they hear the word, straightway, with joy receive it,
17 and have no root in themselves, but, only for a season are,—afterwards, when there ariseth tribulation or persecution by reason of the word, straightway, they find cause of stumbling;
18 And others are they who among thorns are sown,—these are they who hear the word,
19 and, the anxieties of the age, and the deceit of wealth, and the covetings about the remaining things, entering in, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh;
20 And those yonder are they who on the good ground are sown,—who, indeed, hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit—thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.
