“joy, delight” (akin to chairo, “to rejoice”), is found frequently in Matthew and Luke, and especially in John, once in Mark (Mar 4:16<\/span>, RV, “joy,” AV, “gladness”); it is absent from 1 Cor. (though the verb is used three times), but is frequent in 2 Cor., where the noun is used five times (for 2Co 7:4<\/span>, RV, see Note below), and the verb eight times, suggestive of the Apostle’s relief in comparison with the circumstances of the 1st Epistle; in Col 1:11<\/span>, AV, “joyfulness,” RV, “joy.” The word is sometimes used, by metonymy, of the occasion or cause of “joy,” Luk 2:10<\/span> (lit., “I announce to you a great joy”); in 2Co 1:15<\/span>, in some mss., for charis, “benefit;” Phi 4:1<\/span>, where the readers are called the Apostle’s “joy;” so 1Th 2:19-20<\/span>; Heb 12:2<\/span>, of the object of Christ’s “joy;” Jam 1:2<\/span>, where it is connected with falling into trials; perhaps also in Mat 25:21<\/span>, Mat 25:23<\/span>, where some regard it as signifying, concretely, the circumstances attending cooperation in the authority of the Lord. See also the Note following No. 3. <\/p>\n Note: In Heb 12:11<\/span>, “joyous” represents the phrase meta, “with,” followed by chara, lit., “with joy.” So in Heb 10:34<\/span>, “joyfully;” in 2Co 7:4<\/span> the noun is used with the Middle Voice of huperperisseuo, “to abound more exceedingly,” and translated “(I overflow) with joy,” RV (AV, “I am exceeding joyful”). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “exultation, exuberant joy.” Cp. B, No. 3, below. See GLADNESS. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n is rendered “joy” in the AV of Act 2:28<\/span>, RV, “gladness,” as in Act 14:17<\/span>. See GLADNESS. <\/p>\n Note: “Joy” is associated with life, e.g., 1Th 3:8-9<\/span>. Experiences of sorrow prepare for, and enlarge, the capacity for “joy,” e.g., Joh 16:20<\/span>; Rom 5:3-4<\/span>; 2Co 7:4<\/span>; 2Co 8:2<\/span>; Heb 10:34<\/span>; Jam 1:2<\/span>. Persecution for Christ’s sake enhances “joy,” e.g., Mat 5:11-12<\/span>; Act 5:41<\/span>. Other sources of “joy” are faith, Rom 15:13<\/span>; Phi 1:25<\/span>; hope, Rom 5:2<\/span> (kauchaomai, see B, No. 2); Rom 12:12<\/span> (chairo, see B, No. 1); the “joy” of others, Rom 12:15<\/span>, which is distinctive of Christian sympathy. Cp. 1Th 3:9<\/span>. In the OT and the NT God Himself is the ground and object of the believer’s “joy,” e.g., Psa 35:9<\/span>; Psa 43:4<\/span>; Isa 61:10<\/span>; Luk 1:47<\/span>; Rom 5:11<\/span>; Phi 3:1<\/span>; Phi 4:4<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to rejoice, be glad,” is translated “joyfully” in Luk 19:6<\/span>, lit., “rejoicing;” “we joyed,” 2Co 7:13<\/span>; “I joy,” Phi 2:17<\/span>; “do ye joy,” Phi 2:18<\/span>; “joying,” Col 2:5<\/span>; “we joy,” 1Th 3:9<\/span>. It is contrasted with weeping and sorrow, e.g., in Joh 16:20<\/span>, Joh 16:22<\/span>; Rom 12:15<\/span>; 1Co 7:30<\/span> (cp. Psa 30:5<\/span>). See FAREWELL, GLAD, GREETING, HAIL, REJOICE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to boast, glory, exult,” is rendered “we joy,” in Rom 5:11<\/span>, AV (RV, “we rejoice”). It would have been an advantage to translate this word distinctively by the verbs “to glory” or “to exult.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to exult, rejoice greatly,” is translated “with exceeding joy” in 1Pe 4:13<\/span> (Middle Voice), lit., “(ye rejoice, chairo) exulting.” Cp. A, No. 2. See GLAD, REJOICE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to benefit, profit,” in the Middle Voice, “to have profit, derive benefit,” is translated “let me have joy” in Phm 1:20<\/span> (RV marg., “help”); the Apostle is doubtless continuing his credit and debit metaphors and using the verb in the sense of “profit.” <\/p>\n Joy (Noun and Verb), Joyfulness, Joyfully, Joyous “joy, delight” (akin to chairo, “to rejoice”), is found frequently in Matthew and Luke, and especially in John, once in Mark (Mar 4:16, RV, “joy,” AV, “gladness”); it is absent from 1 Cor.
