Mar 13:13 And you shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake...
Mar 13:13 And you shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Alternative: And you shall be hated by all thanks to my name but he that stands his ground until the fulfillment shall be saved from death.
Wordplay: Christ makes a little joke here, saying that his follower will be hared by all "thanks to" his name.
Hidden meaning: The term here used translated as "end" has a very strong sense of the fulfillment of a purpose, not just an finish of something. This is the word Christ uses whenever he talks about "the end of the age," which usually gets translated as "the end of time" but its meaning is much closer to the fulfillment of a period of time, its meaning and purpose.
Thematically and Linguistically Related Verse(s): Mat 10:22 is the parallel in Matthew.
