--2 Timothy-- I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: (4:7) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. (4:8) --James-- Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. (1:12) |
