Exegesis
The verse begins with the negated possession clause ouk ekhei {οὐκ ἔχει | ouk É-khei} “does not have,” which denies the subject any inner resource.
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 .
