'Joy' in the Bible
He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made full.
These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.
Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.
