'Joy' in the Bible
He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled.
I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.
Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.
A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
