Even in the Greek, salvation in every case is through the righteousness of Yehova resulting from willing obedience to the commandments of the Father.

The first part of your sentence is correct - salvation is through the righteousness of God which is IMPUTED to us by His grace THROUGH faith. See Romans 4.

The last part of your comment is a lie from the pit of hell. When salvation is conditioned upon "obedience to the commandments of the Father", it is saying one must merit it by his/her works of righteousness and Scripture is quite clear it is NOT by our works that we are saved. I pray you escape the clutches of the accursed gospel that condemns and can never save.

    Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus replied, "The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” (John 6:28,29)

Nothing is imputed to us unless we are in obedience to the Father's commandments. Grace and iniquity don't mix.
Matthew 7:

[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Lawlessness)

Matthew 24:

[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Endure to the end in what fashion?

Endure in slopping up all the grace you can find?

Or endure in Yehova’s covenant?

Tough choice! I'll pick enduring in the Father's commandments, as Yeshua suggested in ch 7.
