And I wrote this very thing, that I might not, when I came, have sorrow from those of whom I ought to have joy; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith ye have been standing.

Great is my boldness toward you; great is my glorying on your behalf; I am filled with consolation; I overflow with joy in all our tribulation.

For this cause, we have been consoled; but, in our consolation, we rejoice the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

that, in much trial of tribulation, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
