For this same reason you also should be filled with joy and share that joy with me.
Always be joyful in the Lord! I’ll say it again: Be joyful!
Now then, brothers and sisters, be joyful in the Lord. It’s no trouble for me to write the same things to you, and it’s for your safety.
So then, I ask you not to become discouraged by the troubles I suffer for you. In fact, my troubles bring you glory.
My life is being poured out as a part of the sacrifice and service ⌞I offer to God⌟ for your faith. Yet, I am filled with joy, and I share that joy with all of you.
I hope that the Lord Jesus will allow me to send Timothy to you soon so that I can receive some encouraging news about you.
