Verse 11
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Ver. 11. That no man take thy crown ] Not that crown of eternal life (for that is unlosable), but that honour that God hath put upon thee, Revelation 3:9 . A Christian may, by falling into reproachful courses, "lose what he hath wrought," 2 John 1:8 . 2 John 1:1 . In respect of the praise of men. 2. In respect of inward comfort. 3. In respect of the degrees of glory in heaven; he may miss being a pillar in the temple of God, as Revelation 3:1 .
