'Joy' in the Bible

I do not mean that we have control of your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand by faith. >

I wrote this very thing so that when I came I wouldn’t have pain from those who ought to give me joy, because I am confident about all of you that my joy will also be yours.

I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you. I am filled with encouragement; I am overcome with joy in all our afflictions.

For this reason we have been comforted.In addition to our comfort, we rejoiced even more over the joy Titus had, because his spirit was refreshed by all of you.

During a severe testing by affliction, their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed into the wealth of their generosity.
