And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:22 Go To Matthew 10
Remigius of Rheims
AD 533
And the reward is not for those that begin, but for those that bring to an end.
That is, He who shall not let go the commands of the faith, nor fall away in persecution, shall be saved; he shall receive the reward of the heavenly kingdom for his earthly persecutions. And note that ‘the end’ does not always mean destruction, but sometimes perfection, as in that, “Christ is the end of the Law.” So the sense here may be, “Whosoever shall endure to the end,” that is, in Christ.
