'Joy' in the Bible
It is the bridegroom who gets the bride, yet the bridegroom's friend, who merely stands by and listens for him, is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom's voice. That's why this joy of mine is now complete.
I've told you this, so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you'll cry and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You'll be deeply distressed, but your pain will turn into joy.
When a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.
Now you are having pain. But I'll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
So far you haven't asked for anything in my name. Keep asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete."
"And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.
