Five crowns

"[5][6] Jesus references this crown when he tells the Church in Smyrna to "not be afraid of what you are about to suffer... Be faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

[2] This epistle, written by Paul of Tarsus, deems this crown "imperishable" in order "to contrast it with the temporal awards Paul's contemporaries pursued".

[8] The Crown of Righteousness is mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:8,[2] and is promised to "those who love and anticipate" the Second Coming of Christ.

[2] Delineated in 1 Thessalonians 2:19 and Philippians 4:1, it is given to people who engage in evangelism of those outside the Christian Church.

[13] In the New Testament, Paul earns this crown after winning the Thessalonians to faith in Jesus.
