“But he is without root and is confused and when a little trouble and distress come to him because of the word, Satan [the adversary] causes him to forget from his heart.”
O Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], what shall I do unto youi? O Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], what shall I do unto youi? for your goodness [is] as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.
This youi know, that all they which are in Asia [orient] be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus [a little fugitive] and Hermogenes [lucky born].
Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will finish [it] until the day of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:
As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain (compel with irresistible force) you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer (allow, to let, permit) persecution for the stake (cross) of Moshiach [Messiah].
Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, You2f seek me, not because you2f saw the miracles, but because you2f did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Come, all of you, be offended because of me tonight because it is written: “Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered”
“You will become a ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats) and a fright to all the nations because of my name. Whoever endures, however, until the time of the end will be saved”.
For Demas [governor of the people] has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica [victory of falsity]; Crescens [growing] to Galatia [land of the Galli, Gauls, A Celt], Titus [nurse] unto Dalmatia [a priestly robe].
I know youri works, and where youi dwell, [even] where Satan [the adversary]’s seat [is]: and youi hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [like the father] [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan [the adversary] dwells.
“That which fell among the rocks is the one who hears the word of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] and receives it immediately with joy.”
For in many things we offend (make angry; make one stumble; violate) all. If any man offend (make angry; make one stumble; violate) not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle the whole body.
