[[That is why the crown of righteousness is given to those who are watching and waiting for his return DO righteousness.

Nope you are wrong
(2 Timothy 4:8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
It is given for loving his appearing
The reason is not what they do is because there none that are righteous in of themselves
Rom_3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
it is not our righteousness but his
it is for looking for his appearing
why ?well yes if they have oil in their lamp , they are marked as his and they long for his coming to set up his kingdom ,as a side of walking in the Spirit yeah they are not living in outright blatant sin but that is because of HIS righteousness and not our own .
