'Joy' in the Bible

and ye -- ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?

for ye are our glory and joy.

for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?
