*1.* “So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.” *2.* “You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” *3.* “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.” *4* “Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!”
