Those who show pity and are always ready to help during times of trouble are seldom the same ones who rejoice in our joy: when oth...ers are happy they have nothing to do, they become superfluous and lose their feeling of superiority, and so they easily show their displeasure.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Why is light given to one in misery, and life to the bitter in soul, who long for death, but it does not come, and dig for it more... than for hidden treasures; who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they find the grave?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you. ...Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have pr...ophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, ...and you will name him John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink; even before his birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
