frequently in Matthew and Luke, and especially in John, once in Mark (4:16,
RV
, “joy,”

KJV
, “joyfulness,”
RV
, “joy.” The word is
sometimes used, by metonymy, of the occasion or cause of “joy,” Luke 2:10 (lit., “I

, “benefit”; Phil.
4:1, where the readers are called the apostle’s “joy”; so 1 Thess. 2:19, 20; Heb. 12:2, of
the object of Christ’s “joy”; Jas. 1:2, where it is connected with falling into trials; perhaps
also in Matt. 25:21, 23, where some regard it as signifying, concretely, the circumstances
attending cooperation in the authority of the Lord. See also the

Note:
“Joy” is associated with life, e.g. 1 Thess. 3:8, 9. Experiences of sorrow prepare
for, and enlarge, the capacity for “joy,” e.g., John 16:20; Rom. 5:3, 4; 2 Cor. 7:4; 8:2;
Heb. 10:34; Jas. 1:2. Persecution for Christ’s sake enhances “joy,” e.g., Matt. 5:11, 12;
Acts 5:41. Other sources of “joy” are faith, Rom. 15:13; Phil. 1:25; hope, Rom. 5:2

Himself is the ground and object of the believer’s “joy,” e.g., Ps. 35:9; 43:4; Isa. 61:10;
