26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 27 For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” 1 Corinthians 15:24-27

Paul's point is that if Christ can subject the entire universe to His sovereign control, He has the power to transform believers' bodies into His image.
![Page 79: 05 May 13, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3, Verse 20](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e563ad8b42a8e4c8b4fc6/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Finally, we must focus on the glorious hope that isours at the return of Christ — the transformation of our bodies into conformity with His.

25 Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable crown.

The word, bema, was taken from the Isthmian Games where the contestants would compete for the prize which was a wreath made of pine boughs.
![Page 87: 05 May 13, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3, Verse 20](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e563ad8b42a8e4c8b4fc6/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)

At least up until the 5th century BC, the winners of the Isthmian games received a wreath of celery; later, the wreath consisted of pine leaves.
![Page 89: 05 May 13, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3, Verse 20](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e563ad8b42a8e4c8b4fc6/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
If we are to accept the traditional date of the first Olympic Games (776 BC), we can say that the first Isthmian Games would have been held in 582 BC.
![Page 90: 05 May 13, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3, Verse 20](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e563ad8b42a8e4c8b4fc6/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
The Isthmian Games were held both the year before and the year after the Olympic Games (the second and fourth years of an Olympiad).
![Page 91: 05 May 13, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3, Verse 20](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e563ad8b42a8e4c8b4fc6/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

So by the time Paul arrived in Corinth, the Isthmian Games were 500 years old.

Throngs of people from all over the Roman Empire flocked to Isthmia, either to participate in or to watch the competitions.(Some stayed in tents.)
![Page 94: 05 May 13, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3, Verse 20](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e563ad8b42a8e4c8b4fc6/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
The basic athletic events of the Isthmian Games included foot races, wrestling, jumping, boxing, hurling the javelin, and throwing the discus.
![Page 95: 05 May 13, 2012 Philippians, Chapter 3, Verse 20](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e563ad8b42a8e4c8b4fc6/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)

Large amounts of money changed hands, not only from the gamblers who won and lost, but also from those who showered gifts upon the victors.

*In Paul’s time, the crown (stephanos) awarded as a prize at Isthmia was made of pine boughs. *This fits particularly well with the phrase, "crown that
