Salvation can be described in the past, present, and future tense

ENDURANCE can be described as a condition specifically of SALVATION in the future tense.

Jesus said that the one specifically HAVING ENDURED to the end WILL BE SAVED: "THE (ONE) HAVING-ENDURED to (the) end, THIS (ONE) WILL-BE-SAVED" (Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13). 

In the parallel account from Matthew 24 found in Luke 21, Jesus said: "GAIN YOUR SOULS BY your ENDURANCE" (Luke 21:19).

Paul wrote: "since we-hope-for what we-see not, WE-ARE-EAGERLY-AWAITING (it) through ENDURANCE" (Romans 8:24-25). So here there is a "HOPE" that "WE-ARE-EAGERLY-AWAITING (it) through ENDURANCE" (Romans 8:25). Paul wrote elsewhere about "(the) HOPE (of) SALVATION" (1 Thessalonians 5:8). This would be referring to the HOPE of a future SALVATION, as Paul then wrote in the next verse that God appointed them "for (the) OBTAINING (of) SALVATION through our Lord Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:9), which would refer to a future SALVATION to obtain. Paul indicated that this hope of a future SALVATION would need to be awaited "through ENDURANCE" (Romans 8:25).
