• The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
  because the LORD has anointed me
  to preach good news to the poor.
  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
  to proclaim freedom for the captives
  and release from darkness for the prisoners,

  to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor
  and the day of vengeance of our God,
  to comfort all who mourn,

  and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
  to bestow on them a crown of beauty
  instead of ashes,
  the oil of gladness
  instead of mourning,
  and a garment of praise
  instead of a spirit of despair.
  They will be called oaks of righteousness,
  a planting of the LORD
  for the display of his splendor.

  Isaiah 61:1-3
  
• Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.

• Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
  - 1 Cor. 9:24-27
  
• For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan stopped us. For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
  - 1 Thess 2:18-20
  
• ...be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer. Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules.
  - 2 Tim 2:1-5
  
• I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
  2 Tim 4:7-8

  - Hebrews 2:9

  - James 1:12
  
• And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
  - 1 Peter 5:4
  
• Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.
  - Revelation 2:10
  
• I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
  - Revelation 7:10
  
• they lay their crowns before the throne and say:
   "You are worthy, our Lord and God,
     to receive glory and honor and power,
     for you created all things,
        and by your will they were created
        and have their being."
  - Revelation 4:10
  
• I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

         KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

  - Revelation 19:11-16
