So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.

So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all.

As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him.

For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.

Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken.

And you husbands, give thought to your way of life with your wives, giving honour to the woman who is the feebler vessel, but who has an equal part in the heritage of the grace of life; so that you may not be kept from prayer.

(And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us);

And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.

In the middle of its street. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, having twelve sorts of fruits, giving its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree give life to the nations.

For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.

He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.

Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.

For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

And again he says, Take part, you Gentiles, in the joy of his people.

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.

For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

And in all my prayers for you all, making my request with joy,

And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

And in the same way do you be glad and have a part in my joy.

So take him to your hearts in the Lord with all joy, and give honour to such as he is:

So my brothers, well loved and very dear to me, my joy and crown, be strong in the Lord, my loved ones.

And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

For though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ.

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

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

For you are our glory and our joy.

For how great is the praise which we give to God for you, and how great the joy with which we are glad because of you before our God;

Have joy at all times.

Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;

For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

For you had pity on those who were in prison, and had joy in the loss of your property, in the knowledge that you still had a better property and one which you would keep for ever.

Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.

You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,

To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:

But be glad that you are given a part in the pains of Christ; so that at the revelation of his glory you may have great joy.

For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

And we are writing these things to you so that our joy may be made complete.

It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

And you will be glad and have great delight; and numbers of people will have joy at his birth.

For, truly, when the sound of your voice came to my ears, the baby in my body made a sudden move for joy.

And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.

And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people:
