Matthew 13:21 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Yet hath he not root in himself — No deep work of grace: no change in the ground of his heart. Nay, he has no deep conviction; and without this, good desires soon wither away. He is offended — He finds a thousand plausible pretences for leaving so narrow and rugged a way.

Matthew 13:21

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.a
