This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shall suffer loss (ζημιωθήσεται)
He shall be mulcted, not punished. See on Mat 16:26; see on Luk 9:25.
He himself shall be saved
Compare Dante of Constantine:
“The next who follows, with the laws and me,
Under the good intent that bore bad fruit
Became a Greek by ceding to the pastor;
Now knoweth he how all the ill deduced
From his good action is not harmful to him,
Although the world thereby may be destroyed.”
“Paradiso,” xx. 55-60.
By fire (διὰ πυρός)
Better, Rev., through fire. He will escape as through the fire that consumes his work, as one does through the flames which destroy his house.
