There is laid up for me (apokeitai moi). Present passive of apokeimai, old verb, to be laid away. See Colossians 1:5 for the hope laid away. Paul's "crown of righteousness" (o thv dikaiosunhv stefanov, genitive of apposition, the crown that consists in righteousness and is also the reward for righteousness, the victor's crown as in I Corinthians 9:25 which see) "is laid away" for him.
At that day (en ekeinh th hmerai). That great and blessed day (II Timothy 1:12, II Timothy 1:18).

But also to all them that have loved his appearing (alla pasin toiv hgaphkosin thn epifaneian autou). Dative case of the perfect active participle of agapaw, to love, who have loved and still love his second coming. Epifaneia here can as in II Timothy 1:10 be interpreted of Christ's Incarnation.
