When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn't fade away.
The words "that fadeth not away" are from (amarantinos) signifying an "unfading flower." The Greeks spoke of the amarantinos as a flower that never withers nor fades; it was their symbol of immorality. How beautiful the thought, how encouraging to the poor slain sheep (Romans 8) to know that the Prince of Life awaits them with the crown.
