Exegesis
The adversative clause alla proskairos estin {ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιρός ἐστιν | al-LÁ PRÓS-kai-ros É-stin} contrasts this absence of rootedness with a fleeting, temporary character.
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 .
