'Joy' in the Bible

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.

"These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.

A woman, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child being born into the world.

Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master.
