20Truly, truly, I say to you, ayou will weep and lament, but bthe world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but cyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 dWhen a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 eSo also you have sorrow now, but fI will see you again, and gyour hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.Romans 12:15
15 hRejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.2 Corinthians 7:10
