'Joy' in the Bible

He who has the bride is the groom. But the groom’s friend, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the groom’s voice. So this joy of mine is complete.

“I have spoken these things to you so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.

“I assure you: You will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.

When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.

So you also have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

Until now you have asked for nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

Now I am coming to You,and I speak these things in the worldso that they may have My joy completed in them.
