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

And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

(and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal life , which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us);

He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:

to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?

He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall 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 themselves.
