How abundant is the multitude of Your goodness, O Lord, which You have laid up for them that fear You! You have wrought [it] out for them that hope on You, in the presence of the sons of men.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves dig through and steal;

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves do not dig through and steal.

because of the hope being laid up for you in [the] heavens, in which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

storing up for yourselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

that it may give unto your head a crown of grace, and may cover you with a crown of delight.

And everyone who competes exercises self-control [in] all things. Now they [compete] in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we [compete] [for] an imperishable crown.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; because when he is approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love Him.

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

Fear none of those things which you are about to suffer. Behold indeed, the devil is about to cast [some] of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting, having been clothed in white robes; and on their heads [were] crowns of gold.

the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and they worship Him that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead in accordance with His appearing and His kingdom:

Far be it from You to do such at thing, so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

God is a righteous Judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.

But according to your hardness and impenitent heart you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,

[which is] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which you also suffer;

since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

For which cause I also suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I have been persuaded that He is able to guard that which I have committed to Him until that Day.

May the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that Day--and you very well know how many ways he served in Ephesus.

And they shall be Mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him.

Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name we cast out demons, and in Your name we did many mighty works?'

"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

And not only that, but also [we] ourselves having the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting adoption, the redemption of our body.

But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

For also in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

so also Christ having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time apart from sin for salvation, to those eagerly waiting for Him.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen!.

He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
