always in every prayer of mine making my request for you all with joy

Likewise I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
I say to you that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you
then fulfill my joy, that you may be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord and of one mind.
(For many are walking, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ;
Therefore, my brothers, ones loved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand fast in this way in the Lord, beloved ones.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
We give thanks to God for you always, making mention of you in our prayers,
For we have great joy and consolation over your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
I rejoiced greatly that I found your children walking in truth, as we have received command from the Father.
