'Joyfully' in the Bible

As for what was sown on the stony ground, this is the person who hears the word and accepts it joyfully at once,

Others are like the seeds sown on the stony ground. When they hear the word, at once they joyfully accept it,

The ones on the stony ground are the people who joyfully welcome the word when they hear it. But since they don't have any roots, they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.

always praying joyfully in every one of my prayers for all of you

So joyfully welcome him in the Lord and make sure you honor such people highly,

Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, to tens of thousands of angels joyfully gathered together,

Continue to follow and be submissive to your leaders, since they are watching over your souls as those who will have to give a word of explanation. By doing this, you will be letting them carry out their duties joyfully, and not with grief, for that would be harmful for you.
