# not greater than

This could mean ***not more important than*** or in this case, ***not treated better than***.

# because of me

This could mean ***because you obey me*** or ***because you teach people about me*** or ***because you belong to me***.

# in this world

This could also be translated as: “in this lifetime.”

# If you remain faithful to me to the end, then God will save you

The connecting word **if** introduces a hypothetical conditional relationship. If you remain faithful to the end, then God will save you. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical]])

# remain faithful to me

This could mean ***Keep obeying me***.

# to the end

This could mean ***to the end of your life***.

# will save you

This refers to spiritual salvation rather than physical deliverance from harm. It has already been stated that many believers will be killed or tortured.
