Rejoice always,
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great! For in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been written in the heavens.”
So they said to Him, “Sir, give us this bread from now on!”
rejoicing in hope, enduring in distress, persisting in prayer,
as grieving yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing yet possessing everything.
Rejoice in the Lord always—again I will say, rejoice!
