20For you are our glory and our joy.

9For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

16Rejoice always.

12Having many things to write to you, I don`t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

13The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.

4I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.

5Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

6This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

18What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

25Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

4always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,

17Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

18In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

2make my joy full, that you be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

10But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.

4Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice!
