'Joy' in the Bible

and you became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message with joy from the Holy Spirit.

For who is our hope or joy or crown of boasting in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? Is it not you?

For you are our glory and joy!

How can we thank God for you in return for all the joy we experience before our God because of you,
