The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
World English Bible (WEB)
{G1161} They on{G1909} the rock{G4073} are they, which{G3739}, when{G3752} they hear{G191}{(G5661)}, receive{G1209}{(G5736)} the word{G3056} with{G3326} joy{G5479}; and{G2532} these{G3778} have{G2192}{(G5719)} no{G3756} root{G4491}, which{G3739} for{G4314} a while{G2540} believe{G4100}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} in{G1722} time{G2540} of temptation{G3986} fall away{G868}{(G5736)}.
KJV with Strongs
(13) The ones on the rock, these hear, receive The Word with joy and having no root these who believe for a time, in temptation's time, depart away.
The F.O.G
The rocky soil represents superficial faith – people who receive the message joyfully but lack spiritual depth. When trials come, their faith withers and they fall down like plants without roots.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
