These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegrooms voice. This my joy then hath become full.

Truly, truly do I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, through joy that a man is born into the world.

So ye also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one taketh from you.

Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye will receive, that your joy may be made full.

But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them.
