In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to signify the act of honoring or rewarding someone, often in the context of spiritual victory or divine approval. The imagery of crowning is associated with victory, honor, and the conferring of dignity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, a stephanos was a wreath or garland awarded to victors in athletic contests, military triumphs, or given as a mark of honor. This imagery was familiar to the early Christian audience, who would understand the metaphor of being crowned as a symbol of achieving spiritual victory or receiving divine favor. The concept of crowning also had royal connotations, signifying authority and kingship.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 4737</b> <i>stephanóō</i> – to <i>crown as victor</i>. <a href="/greek/4735.htm">See 4735</a> (<i>stephanos</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4735.htm">stephanos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to crown<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>crowned (2), win the prize (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4737: στεφανόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">στεφανόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">στεφάνῳ</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐστεφανωσα</span>;
