Ephesians 3:13

13So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering afor you, bwhich is your glory.

Philippians 3:1

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

1Finally, my brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters; also verses 13, 17
drejoice in the Lord. eTo write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

Philippians 4:4

4 fRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

James 1:2-4

Testing of Your Faith

2 gCount it all joy, my brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verses 16, 19
when you meet trials iof various kinds,
3for you know that jthe testing of your faith kproduces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be lperfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
