¹³ But the one who endures and bears up [under suffering] to the end will be saved.

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.

⁶ but Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ].

¹⁴ For we [believers] have become partakers of Christ [sharing in all that the Messiah has for us], if only we hold firm our newborn confidence [which originally led us to Him] until the end,

⁵ who are being protected and shielded by the power of God through your faith for salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.

⁹ receiving as the result [the outcome, the consummation] of your faith, the salvation of ^[a]your souls.

⁵ who are being protected and shielded by the power of God through your faith for salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.

¹¹ And we desire for each one of you to show the same diligence [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, ¹² so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] imitators of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] inheriting the promises.

²¹ and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life.
