“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”
I am coming soon; hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown — the imminent parousia motivates urgency; the crown (stephanos) earned through perseverance can be lost if vigilance lapses. Hold fast (kratei) requires active grip against seductive alternatives.
