'Joy' in the Bible
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is made full.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.
And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.
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.
