Scripture Verses on Joy and Encouragement

Updated 3/30/20

 

Phillipians 4:4-7

Verse 4 in Latin:     Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete.

Verse 4 in English: Rejoice   in The Lord always; again I say it, rejoice.

 

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 

1 Thess. 5:16  Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

 

John 15:10-12 (NRSV) 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.  12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."

 

John 16:24 (NRSV)24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

 

Luke 6:22-23 22 "Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets."

 

Romans 15:13 13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

1Peter 1:8-10 8 Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

 

Galatians 5:22-25 2 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
