'Happier' in the Bible

So I commended the dead who had already died as being happier than the living who are still alive.

However, in my opinion she will be happier if she stays as she is. And in saying this, I think that I, too, have God's Spirit.

and not only by his arrival but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing for me, your sorrow, and your eagerness to take my side, and this made me even happier.
