The Five Crowns, also known as the Five Heavenly Crowns, is a concept in Christian theology that pertains to various biblical references to the righteous's eventual reception of a crown after the Last Judgment.[2] Proponents of this concept interpret these passages as specifying five separate crowns, these being the Crown of Life; the Incorruptible Crown; the Crown of Righteousness; the Crown of Glory; and the Crown of Exultation.[2] In the Greek language, stephanos (στέφανος) is the word for crown and is translated as such in the Bible, especially in versions descending from the King James Version.[3] These five rewards can be earned by believers, according to the New Testament, as 'rewards for faithfulness in this life'.[4]
5 Crowns
Crown of Life[edit]
The Crown of Life is referred to in James 1:12 and Revelation 2:10; it is bestowed upon 'those who persevere under trials.'[5][6]Jesus references this crown when he tells the Church in Smyrna to 'not be afraid of what you are about to suffer... Be faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.'[7]
Incorruptible Crown[edit]
The Incorruptible Crown is also known as the Imperishable Crown, and is referenced in 1 Corinthians 9:25.[2] This epistle, written by Paul of Tarsus, deems this crown 'imperishable' in order 'to contrast it with the temporal awards Paul's contemporaries pursued'.[8] It is therefore given to those individuals who demonstrate 'self-denial and perseverance'.[8]
Crown of Righteousness[edit]
The Crown of Righteousness is mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:8,[2] and is promised to 'those who love and anticipate' the Second Coming of Christ.[9] These Christians desire intimacy with God.[10]
Crown of Glory[edit]
The Crown of Glory is discussed in 1 Peter 5:4 and is granted to Christian clergy, who 'shepherd the flock in unselfish love being a good example to others' 1 Peter 5:2–4. [11][12]
Crown of Rejoicing[edit]
The Crown of Rejoicing is also known as the Crown of Exultation, or Crown of Auxiliary.[2] Delineated in 1 Thessalonians 2:19 and Philippians 4:1, it is given to people who engage in evangelism of those outside the Christian Church.[13] In the New Testament, Paul earns this crown after winning the Thessalonians to faith in Jesus.[14]

As we have seen, when the Lord returns, he will judge believers for their works (Rom. 14:10; 1 Cor. 3:11-15; 4:5; 2 Co. 5:10). Everyone will be asked to give an account of the use he has made of the talents (Matt. 25:14-30), the pounds or minas (Luke 19:11-27), and the opportunities (Matt. 20:1-16) that have been entrusted to him. The day will declare whether a man has built of wood, hay, and straw or of gold, silver, and precious stones (1 Cor. 3:12). If of the former, his works will be burnt up, and yet he will be saved so as through fire (v. 15); if of the latter, he will receive a reward (v. 14). Scripture lists several crowns or trophies: the incorruptible or imperishable crown (1 Cor. 9:25), the crown of righteousness (2 Tim. 4:8), the crown of life (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10), the crown of glory (1 Pet. 5:4), and the crown of rejoicing or exultation (1 Thess. 2:19; cf. Phil. 4:1).

As a newborn in the rummy family, Five Crowns card game can be an interesting alternative to classic rummy games. Younger than 20 years, this card game is played between 2 to 7 players, with two special decks that each contain 55 playing cards in 5 suits and 3 jokers.
The Deck
Five Crowns card game is played with two special decks, so it seems appropriate to take a look at them first. They contains the four classic suits(Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds) and the fifth suit, Stars, plus 3 jokers per deck. Each suit has 11 cards per deck, there are no Deuces and Aces in this game. So all in all, there are 116 playing cards in the game.
Object of the Game
Each game consists of 11 hands. After each hand, players score. The player with the lowest score after 11 hands wins the game. During a hand players form runs(3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit) and sets(3 or more cards of the same rank) that they can then lay down to lower their score.
SET
RUN
The Deal
The number of cards dealt to each player differs from hand to hand. On the first hand each player gets 3 card, and then one more card each further hand, so on the eleventh hand each player gets 13 cards. One more card is turned over to form the discard pile, and the rest of the deck is put face down on the table to form the stock pile.
Gameplay
Play starts with the player to the dealers left and continues clockwise. When it’s a players turn he has the choice of drawing the top card of either the stock or discard pile. A players turn ends when he discards one of his cards. Whenever a player forms a set or a run, he has to put it face up on the table.
When one of the players runs out of cards, the other players get one more turn to form melds and lay them down. After this is done, the hand ends and players count the score of the cards left in their hand.
Wild Cards
Like in pretty much any rummy game, jokers are always wild and can be used as any card when forming melds(you can use any number of wild cards in a set or a run), but in Five Crowns card game, there are other wild cards as well… in each hand the card with the same rank as the number of cards dealt to players is wild. So in the first hand, treys are wild, in the second hand, fours are wild and so on…
Scoring
