For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand, I fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; 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. ~ 2 Timothy 4: 6-8
