1 Thessalonians 2:19

Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

For ye are our glory and joy.

She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
