10 Bible Verses about Rejoicing In Tribulation

Not only so, but we triumph even in our troubles, knowing that trouble produces endurance,

let your hope be a joy to you; be stedfast in trouble, attend to prayer,

rejoice and exult in it, for your reward is rich in heaven; that is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

rejoice on that day and leap for joy! rich is your reward in heaven for their fathers did the very same to the prophets.

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy of suffering dishonour for the sake of the Name;

had many lashes inflicted on them and put them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safe. On receiving so strict a charge, he put them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks. But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing to God, while the prisoners listened,

grieved but always glad, a 'pauper', but the means of wealth to many, without a penny but possessed of all.

I am suffering now on your behalf, but I rejoice in that; I would make up the full sum of all that Christ has to suffer in my person on behalf of the church, his Body;

for you did sympathize with the prisoners, and you took the confiscation of your own belongings cheerfully, conscious that elsewhere you had higher, you had lasting, possessions.

Beloved, do not be surprised at the ordeal that has come to test you, as though some foreign experience befell you. You are sharing what Christ suffered; so rejoice in it, that you may also rejoice and exult when his glory is revealed.
