- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2By which also ye are saved - That is, ye are now in a salvable state; and are saved from your Gentilism, and from your former sins.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2By which also ye are saved - On which your salvation depends; the belief of which is indispensable to your salvation; see the note on Mark 16:16.

Translate in that case, "if ye hold it fast." I…Read the comment
