⁵² And the disciples were full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.

⁴ And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

⁶ And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

¹² Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.

¹³ But be glad that you are given a part in the pains of Christ; so that at the revelation of his glory you may have great joy.

⁶ You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,

⁷ So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

⁸ To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:

² Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

¹⁸ And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

¹⁹ Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

²⁰ Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

² How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.

¹³ Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

³ And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

⁴¹ So they went away from the Sanhedrin, happy to undergo shame for the Name.

³¹ And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear.

⁴⁶ And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts,

²² So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.

²³ And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

²² Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

²³ Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.
