Thomas,
After looking it over one more time. Closer... "believe" and "obey" needs to be switched in Andrew's latest AENT. In the Aramaic Text, the two words are in the same order as is found in the Greek texts, so, "obey" should be in verse 18 not 19, as it is a possible nuance of the Aramaic word there, and not of the word in verse 19, which should be "believe" or "trust"...
Also....as to the salvation theology issue....John 6:29 seems to me to answer the question as how "Obedieance" and "Believing", go hand in hand, as seen in those two other verses...Hebrews 3:18-19 & John 3:36
Blessings,
Chuck
