“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. — The eschatological reward: stephanos dikaiosynēs (crown of righteousness) awaits, distributed by the righteous judge (ho dikaios kritēs) to all loving (agapaō) Christ's epiphaneia (appearing). Faithfulness yields eternal honor.
