1 Thessalonians 5:16

Be always joyful.

Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad.

Be joyful and triumphant, because your reward is great in the Heavens; for so were the Prophets before you persecuted.

Nevertheless rejoice not at this, that the spirits submit to you; but rejoice that your names are registered in Heaven."

full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer.

as sad, but we are always joyful; as poor, but we bestow wealth on many; as having nothing, and yet we securely possess all things.
