Sending of Apostles, Warnings
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
Matthew 10:22 And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved.
And you will exist being hated, beneath all through this name of mine. The one, however, standing one's ground for a purpose, this one will be rescued.
Staying firm to the end is necessary for a happy ending.
There is a keyword here is translated as "of" in the KJV and "by" in the NIV and not translated at all in the NLT. It primarily means "under," "beneath," and similar meanings. Its phrase means "hated beneath all" not "of all" or "by all." Jesus actually uses this exact same verb/preposition in four different verses. It seems to be equivalent of the English "hated above all."
This "under" or "beneath" word is the prefix of the verb translated as "endure" or "stand firm." This verb, however, is a bit of sexual innuendo, having the sense of "staying firm." This verb means "stay-behind," "await," and similar meanings but literally means "stay under" or "stat beneath." A clearer sense of sexual firmness is seen in Matthew 24:13, but in that verse, it is contrasted with "love" from Matthew 24:12.
The word translated as "end" means "purpose," "outcome," "something done," or "goal." It is the term Jesus uses to describe the end or the purpose of an era or lifetime. Its use in the phrase "end of the world" is discussed in this article. However, the "purpose" discussed here may the reunion of Christ with his followers discussed in the next verse. Matthew 10:23. This word, however, does not have a definite article "the end" or "the goal." So it must be translated as "an end" or "a goal." The verb form of this word is translated as "gone over" in the next verse.
