This passage is addressed to the Jews and not to the gentiles. Any scripture that is based on the law and not GRACE is obsolete it does not apply to you unless you are a self righteous Pharisee. Most of the teachings of Jes s were based on the law not grace because he came to fulfill the law. But the law was nailed to the cross and was canceled according to the apostle Paul. The book of Ephesians says "For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourself it is the gift of God, not by works lest you should boast. " Salvation is a gift, if you work for it, it 's no longer a gift. We are no longer under the law. We now are under the new management called "Grace. " Your acceptance of Christ as your savior is your signature in your "contract of adoption ". It is signed by Jes s with his blood and sealed by the holy ghost. You are now an adopted child of the most high as per the contract. What the King has written cannot be changed and it cannot be revoked not even by the king himself. Thus once saved always saved. "Surrender the immoral person to sat n that his body be destroyed and his soul may be saved in the day of the Lord, " says Paul the ap stle. So rest assured friends your salvation is 1000 guaranteed, regardless of what you do or not do. Your works has something to do with your rewards but it has nothing to do with your eternal salvation, It is all by grace through faith. See you in heaven, I 'll visit you in your mansi n. You will know as you are known.
