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

18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

To Live Is Christ

Yes, and I will rejoice,

25 ^qConvinced of this, ^rI know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your ^sprogress and ^tjoy in the faith, 26 so that in me ^uyou may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

2 ⁱcomplete my joy by being ^jof the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

16 holding fast to ^qthe word of life, so that in ^rthe day of Christ ^sI may be proud that ^tI did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be ^upoured out as a drink offering upon ^vthe sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

1 Finally, my brothers,^{1 k}rejoice in the Lord. ^lTo write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

3 For ^owe are the circumcision, ^pwho worship ^qby the Spirit of God¹ and ^rglory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—

1 Therefore, my brothers,¹ whom I love and ^jlong for, ^kmy joy and ^lcrown, ^mstand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

4 ^pRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

God’s Provision

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length ^zyou have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.
