1 Thessalonians 5:16

Always be joyful;

All joy be yours at all times in your union with the Lord. Again I repeat--All joy be yours.

Be glad and rejoice, because your reward in Heaven will be great; for so men persecuted the Prophets who lived before you.

Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in Heaven."

Rejoicing in your hope; steadfast under persecution; persevering in prayer;

As saddened, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things!
