'Joy' in the Bible

always offering every prayer of mine with joy [and with specific requests] for all of you,

Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love [toward one another], knit together in spirit, intent on one purpose [and living a life that reflects your faith and spreads the gospel—the good news regarding salvation through faith in Christ].

Welcome him home in the Lord with great joy, and appreciate and honor men like him;
