Exegesis
The genitive absolute construction genomenēs de thlipseōs ē diōgmou {γενομένης δὲ θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ | ge-no-MÉ-nēs de thlíp-se-Ōs ē di-ōg-MŪ} “when tribulation or persecution has arisen” sets up circumstances that trigger the main event, functioning temporally and causally.
In context — Matthew 13:21
Yet he has no root in himself, but is only temporary; when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away .
