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

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

John’s Farewell Greeting

^12 (A)Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, ^(B)that our joy may be full.

²⁴ Not ^(A)that we ^[a]have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for ^(B)by faith you stand.

A Hymn of Faith

¹⁹ to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled ^(A)with all the fullness of God.

^29 (A)He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but ^(B)the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

²⁵ And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, ²⁶ that ^(A)your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.
