Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
10:32-33 God accepts the one who acknowledges Jesus publicly in the context of trial and persecution (10:16-25). These verses pertain to a person’s pattern of life (see 7:13-27) and not to a single confession or a single denial. For example, Judas acknowledged Jesus in individual instances yet was damned (26:23-24), whereas Peter denied Jesus (see 26:69-75) yet was saved.
