People's Commentary (NT)
2 Timothy 4:8
Henceforth there is laid up for me. As the successful competitor
in the games receives a crown, so the crown awaited him.
A crown of righteousness. The crown given for righteousness.
The Lord, the righteous judge. He was about to die by the sentence
of an unrighteous judge. The higher Judge would reverse the sentence
and give him a crown.
And not to me only. All can have the same hope. All who serve him,
and would love to see him come as their vest friend, shall have the
same crown.
