'Roots' in the Bible

The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree that isn't producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they did not have any roots, they dried up.

He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be pulled up by the roots.

But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they didn't have any roots, they dried up.

but since they don't have any roots, they last for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, they immediately fall away.

While they were walking along early the next morning, they saw the fig tree dried up to its roots.

The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire."

The ones on the stony ground are the people who joyfully welcome the word when they hear it. But since they don't have any roots, they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.
