Crown of Thorns and Glory
4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
A Crown is a Royal Headress, the glory of a sovereign king, an award of honor and a victory of recompense.
1 Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
