Mark 13:13

13:13 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. ²  But the one who endures to the end will be saved. ³ 

[7:36]  ¹ tn Grk “but as much as he ordered them, these rather so much more proclaimed.” Greek tends to omit direct objects when they are clear from the context, but these usually need to be supplied for the modern English reader. Here what Jesus ordered has been clarified (“ordered them not to do this”), and the pronoun “it” has been supplied after “proclaimed.”

[13:13]  ¹ sn See 1 Cor 1:25-31.

[13:13]  ² sn But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Jesus was not claiming here that salvation is by works, because he had already taught that it is by grace (cf. 10:15). He was simply arguing that genuine faith evidences itself in persistence through even the worst of trials.
