NASB | Matthew 10:22 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 10:22 "And you will be hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name, but it is the one who has patiently persevered and endured to the end who will be saved. |
Bible Question: In Matthew 10:22 what does it mean when it says we must endure to the end. Does this mean if we dont endure we will lose salvation |
Bible Answer: This is not prescriptive, rather it is descriptive. We, as westerners, often read sentences like this and see them as sylogistic or at least causitive. However, perseverence is a characteristic of regeneration, not a condition of regeneration. It is one of the gifts that God grants those that He has chosen. |
