⁴ and these things we write, that our joy may be made full.

¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and `that' your joy may be made full.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

¹ My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is made full.

¹² Having many things to write unto you, I would not `write them' with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

²⁶ that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

²⁴ Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.

¹⁷ For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:

¹⁸ Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

¹⁰ I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
