And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.

For I have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.

Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

whom not having seen you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory?

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is not it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

For you are our glory and our joy.

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

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