Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown. &c.— St. Paul here represents the great Judge, who had been witness to all his behaviour, with a crown in his hand, which he will bestow upon him as the reward of his faithfulness, and of his coming off victor: and that the time of his bestowing it will be in that day; that is, the great day of judgment; when he will reward all the faithful andvictorious; for so the phrase that day generally signifies throughout the New Testament. See 1 Thessalonians 4:14.
