1 Thessalonians 5:16

be always chearful.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: I say it again, rejoice.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great will be your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

however, let not this be the matter of your rejoicing, that the spirits are subject to you: but rejoice, that you have a title to the joys of heaven.

be joyful in hope; be patient under affliction; persevere in prayer;

as sorrowful, though always cheerful; as poor, tho' inriching many; as having nothing, though contented with every thing.
