¹¹ “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and ^(A)that your joy may be full.

²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, ^(A)that your joy may be ^(B)full.

¹³ But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

²⁰ Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and ^(A)lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into ^(B)joy. ^21 (C)A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

^17 (A)for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and ^(B)peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, ^(C)goodness, ^(D)faithfulness, ^23 [a]gentleness, self-control. ^(E)Against such there is no law.

¹³ but rejoice ^(A)to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that ^(B)when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

⁴ And these things we write to you ^(A)that ^[a]your joy may be full.
