Matthew
- Matthew 13:21Yet 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.But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
Mark
- Mark 4:17And 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.
2 Corinthians
- 2 Corinthians 4:18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Hebrews
- Hebrews 11:25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.
