Two Meanings of 'Saved'
Commentators note a dual meaning in this verse. For the original disciples, enduring to 'the end' meant persevering through the trials leading to Jerusalem's destruction in AD 70, resulting in their physical salvation. For all Christians throughout history, it means enduring in faith to the end of one's life to receive eternal salvation.
