146. [verse 26] 'And he who overcomes and keeps My works even to the end' signifies those who fight against evils and untruths and are reformed, and are actually in charity and faith therefrom, and continue in them even to the end of life. That 'to overcome' is to fight against evils and untruths may be seen above (n. 88); and that the 'works' are charity and faith therefrom in act (n. 76, 141). It is plain that 'to keep them even to the end' is to be in them and continue in them even to the end of life.
