Paul uses an athletic analogy in this section, mentioning the “crown.” These Garlands or “Crowns” won by the Greeks were greatly prized, like these plaques in the Hall of Fame. But Paul speaks of a crown of infinitely greater worth, of something of far greater importance. He speaks of a crown that he will receive—the same crown we also will one day receive! This should propel us to faithfulness. Every little reward in this life pales in comparison to the crown of life. No trophy compares with seeing the Savior, and hearing “Well done.”
