2 Corinthians 6:10

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 ¹  the spirits submit to you, but rejoice ²  that your names stand written ³  in heaven.”

Romans 12:12

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

[10:20]  ¹ tn Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”

[10:20]  ² tn The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.

[10:20]  ³ 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.
