For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

In that day the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,

Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown.

And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
