“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.”
If you2f continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the Gospel (joyful message), which you2f have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Sha’ul [desired] am made a minister;
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.
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
