When the sun came up, it burned the plants. They dried up because they had no roots.

日头出来一晒，因为没有根，就枯干了；

太阳出来一晒，因为没有根就枯干了。

太阳出来一晒，因为没有根就枯干了。

被太阳一晒，就枯萎了；

但太阳一出来，就把它晒干，又因为没有根就枯萎了。

当太阳升起，它们被暴晒，就枯萎了，因为没有根。

日頭出來一曬，因為沒有根，就枯乾了；

太陽出來一曬，因為沒有根就枯乾了。

太陽出來一曬，因為沒有根就枯乾了。

被太陽一曬，就枯萎了；

但太陽一出來，就把它曬乾，又因為沒有根就枯萎了。

日頭出來，就曬焦了；因為沒有根，便枯乾了。

當太陽升起，它們被暴曬，就枯萎了，因為沒有根。

日出曝之、無根而槁、

然土不深、故日出曝之、無根而槁、

日出見暴、以無根故、則槁、

日出曝之、則苗槁矣、以無根故也；

But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.

But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died.

But when the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.

But after the sun rose, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

But when the sun came up they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered.

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

But when the sun came up, they were scorched, and because they did not have sufficient root, they withered.

When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

The sun rises. Its burning heat dries up the plants. Their blossoms fall. Their beauty is destroyed. In the same way, rich people will fade away. They fade away even as they go about their business.Blessed is the person who keeps on going when times are hard. After they have come through hard times, this person will receive a crown. The crown is life itself. The Lord has promised it to those who love him.

But they have no roots. So they last only a short time. They quickly fall away from the faith when trouble or suffering comes because of the message.

But you must keep your faith steady and firm. You must not move away from the hope the good news holds out to you. This is the good news that you heard. It has been preached to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, now serve the good news.

‘ Never again will they be hungry. Never again will they be thirsty. The sun will not beat down on them.’( Isaiah 49:10) The heat of the desert will not harm them.

But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash.”

They will not get hungry or thirsty. The heat from the desert sun will not beat down on them. The God who has tender love for them will guide them. Like a shepherd, he will lead them beside springs of water.

Then Christ will live in your hearts because you believe in him. And I pray that your love will have deep roots. I pray that it will have a strong foundation.

The seed on rocky ground stands for those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But they have no roots. They believe for a while. But when they are tested, they fall away from the faith.

Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before.
