⁴ and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

¹¹ these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

²⁴ till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

²⁹ he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.

¹² Many things having to write to you, I did not intend through paper and ink, but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full;

²⁵ and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

²⁶ that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.

¹⁹ to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God;

²⁴ not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

¹⁷ Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls.

¹⁸ Yet I, in Jehovah I exult, I do joy in the God of my salvation.

¹⁰ I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.
