Berean Study Bible

But
The word "but" serves as a conjunction that introduces a contrast or exception. In the context of Matthew 24, Jesus is speaking about the trials and tribulations that will occur in the end times. The use of "but" here signals a shift from the description of these hardships to a promise of hope and assurance. It emphasizes that despite the challenges, there is a significant outcome for those who remain faithful.

the one who perseveres
The phrase "the one who perseveres" is central to understanding the call to endurance. The Greek word used here is "hypomenō," which means to remain steadfast or to endure under pressure. This term is often used in the New Testament to describe the Christian's call to remain faithful amidst trials. Historically, the early Christians faced persecution, and this call to perseverance would have been both a challenge and an encouragement. It reminds believers that their faith is not passive but requires active endurance.

to the end
"To the end" refers to the completion or conclusion of a period of time. In the context of Matthew 24, it can be understood as the end of the age or the culmination of the trials Jesus describes. Theologically, it underscores the necessity of enduring faith throughout one's life or until the return of Christ. This phrase challenges believers to maintain their faith not just temporarily but consistently until the fulfillment of God's promises.

will be saved
The promise "will be saved" is the culmination of the verse, offering hope and assurance. The Greek word for "saved" is "sōzō," which means to rescue or deliver. In a biblical context, it often refers to spiritual salvation and deliverance from sin and its consequences. This promise is not just about physical survival but encompasses eternal salvation. It reassures believers that their perseverance in faith will lead to ultimate redemption and eternal life with God.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(13) He that shall endure unto the end . . .--The words have at once a higher and lower sense. Endurance to the end of life is in every case the condition of salvation, in the full meaning of the word. But the context rather leads us to see in the "end" the close of the period of which our Lord speaks, i.e., the destruction of Jerusalem; and so the words "shall be saved" at least include deliverance from the doom of those who were involved in that destruction.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 13. - He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved (Matthew 10:22). Here is a note of consolation amid the refrain of woe. Patience and perseverance shall be crowned at the last. "The end" means primarily the destruction of Jerusalem, and the salvation promised is safety in that day of peril. It is believed that no Christians perished in the siege or after it (see ver. 16). But τέλος, being here used without the article (differently from vers. 6 and, 14), must not be restricted to one allusion, but must be taken more generally, as indeed a universal axiom, equivalent to "finally," as long as endurance is needed. And the salvation must refer to the soul's sentence at the last day, not to any mere safety of body and life. What the maxim says is this: patient continuance in well doing, resignation under persecutions and afflictions, holding fast the one faith even though it lead to the martyr's death, - this shall win the crown of eternal blessedness. The Christian must not be led astray by false teachers nor offended by the prevalence of scandals, nor let his love be chilled, if he would gain the reward, share in Messiah's glory, and save his soul.
