for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

so that I may come to you in joy by the will of God and find rest in your company.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.

And this is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.

Great is my boldness toward you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I have been filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.

For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

that in a great testing by affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the richness of their generosity.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,

And convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

fulfill my joy, that you think the same way, by maintaining the same love, being united in spirit, thinking on one purpose,

But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

And you also, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard

Therefore my brothers, loved and longed for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

For who is our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Is it not even you, before our Lord Jesus at His coming?

For you are our glory and joy.

For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God because of you,

longing to see you, having remembered your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,

For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
