Unlike a royal diadem, which signifies sovereignty, a "stephanos" is typically associated with the laurel wreaths awarded to victors in athletic contests or to those honored for their achievements. It is used metaphorically to describe the eternal rewards and honors bestowed upon believers by God.<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 competitions, such as the Olympic Games. It was a symbol of triumph and honor. In Roman times, it was also used to honor military victors and distinguished citizens. The New Testament writers adopted this imagery to convey the concept of spiritual victory and the eternal rewards awaiting believers who remain faithful to Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/greek/4735.htm">stephanos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"crown," Stephen, the first Christian martyr<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Stephen (7).<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 4736: Στέφανος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Στέφανος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Στεφάνου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">Stephen,</span> one of the seven 'deacons' of the church at Jerusalem who was stoned to death by the Jews: <a href="/interlinear/acts/6-5.htm">Acts 6:5, 8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/7-59.htm">Acts 7:59</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-2.htm">Acts 8:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/11-19.htm">Acts 11:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-20.htm">Acts 22:20</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Stephen. <p>The same as <a href="/greek/4735.htm">stephanos</a>; Stephanus, a Christian -- Stephen. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/4735.htm">stephanos</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>Στεφανον Στέφανον Στεφανος Στέφανος Στεφανου Στεφάνου Στεφανω Στεφάνῳ Stephano Stephanō Stephánoi Stephánōi Stephanon Stéphanon Stephanos Stéphanos Stephanou Stephánou<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/acts/6-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Acts 6:5</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
