6:10 as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

Philippians 4:4

4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!

Matthew 5:12

5:12 Rejoice and be glad because your reward is great in heaven, for they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way.

Luke 10:20

10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names stand written in heaven.”

Romans 12:12

12:12 Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer.

tn Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”

tn The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.

tn The verb here, a perfect tense, stresses a present reality of that which was a completed action, that is, their names were etched in the heavenly stone, as it were.
