1 Thessalonians 5:16

Rejoice always:

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

Rejoice, and exult; because great is your reward in Heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

Notwithstanding, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice, because your names have been written in Heaven."

rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; persevering in prayer;

as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
