252.许多其它表述也一样，如当提及欢喜时，也会提及快乐。如以下经文：
看哪，人倒欢喜快乐，宰牛杀羊。（以赛亚书22:13）
他们必得着欢喜快乐，忧愁叹息尽都逃避。（以赛亚书35:10；51:11）
欢喜快乐从我们神的殿中止息了。（约珥书1:16）
欢喜和快乐的声音都止息了。（耶利米书7:34；25:10）
十月禁食的日子必变为犹大家欢喜快乐的日子。（撒迦利亚书8:19）因耶路撒冷快乐，因她欢喜。（以赛亚书66:10）
以东的女子，只管欢喜快乐。（耶利米哀歌4:21）
愿天欢喜，愿地快乐。（诗篇96:11）
求祢使我听到欢喜快乐的声音。（诗篇51:8）
在锡安必有欢喜、快乐、感谢和歌唱的声音。（以赛亚书51:3）
你必欢喜快乐；有许多人因他出世，也必喜乐。（路加福音1:14）
我必使欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，都止息了。（耶利米书7:34；16:9；25:10）
在这地方必再听见有欢喜和快乐的声音、新郎和新妇的声音。（耶利米书33:10，11）
还有其它经文。“欢喜”和“快乐”之所以一同被提及，是因为“欢喜”用来论及良善，“快乐”用来论及真理；换句话说，“欢喜”论及爱，“快乐”论及智慧。因为“欢喜”属于心，“快乐”属于灵；换句话说，“欢喜”属于意愿，“快乐”属于理解力。显然，这些词里面有一个主与教会的婚姻，因为经上说：
欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音。（耶利米书7:34；16:9；25:10；33:10，11）
主是新郎，教会是新妇。主是新郎（参看马太福音9:15；马可福音2:19，20；路加福音5:34，35）。教会是新妇（参看启示录21:2，9；22:17）。这就是为何施洗约翰论及耶稣说：娶新妇的是新郎。（约翰福音3:29）
252. 還有許多其它類似的表達形式, 例如當提及"歡喜"時, 也會說到"快樂":
人倒歡喜快樂, 宰牛殺羊(以賽亞書22:13)。他們必得著歡喜快樂, 憂愁歎息盡都逃避(以賽亞書35:10; 51:11)。歡喜快樂不是從我們上帝的殿中止息了嗎(約珥書1:16)？歡喜和快樂的聲音都止息了(耶利米書7:34; 25:10)。十月禁食的日子必變為猶大家歡喜快樂的日子(撒迦利亞書8:19)。你們愛慕耶路撒冷的, 都要與她一同歡喜快樂(以賽亞書66:10)。以東的女兒, 當歡喜快樂(耶利米哀歌4:21)。願天歡喜, 願地快樂(詩篇96:11)。求禰使我聽到歡喜快樂的聲音(詩篇51:8)。
在錫安必有歡喜,快樂,感謝, 和歌唱的聲音(以賽亞書51:3)。你必歡喜, 有許多人因他出世, 也必快樂(路加福音1:14)。我必使猶大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上, 歡喜和快樂的聲音, 新郎和新婦的聲音, 都止息了(耶利米書7:34; 16:9; 25:10)。在這裡必再聽見有歡喜和快樂的聲音,新郎和新婦的聲音(耶利米書33:10-11)。還有其它類似的經句。
"歡喜"和"快樂"被一同提及, 是因為"歡喜"被用於與良善相關的,"快樂"被用於與真理相關的; 換句話說, "歡喜"用於仁愛,"快樂"用於智慧。因為"歡喜"是心的情感,"快樂"是靈的情感; 換句話說, "歡喜"屬於意志,"快樂"屬於認知。很明顯, 主與教會的結合也是"歡喜"與"快樂"的結合, 因為是這樣說的:
歡喜和快樂的聲音, 新郎和新婦的聲音(耶利米書7:34; 16:9; 25:10; 33:10-11)。主是新郎, 教會是新婦。主是新郎(馬太福音9:15);馬可福音2:19-20;路加福音5:34-35)。教會是新婦(啟示錄21:2, 9; 22:17)。這就是為何施洗約翰說到耶穌:娶新婦的祂就是新郎(約翰福音3:29)。
252. The same is true of many other paired expressions. For instance, where the word "joy" occurs, the word "gladness" also occurs, as in the following examples:
Behold, joy and gladness, killing an ox. (Isaiah 22:13)
Joy and gladness will be attained; sadness and moaning will flee. (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11)
Gladness and joy were cut off from the house of our God. (Joel 1:16)
The voice of joy and the voice of gladness will be done away with. (Jeremiah 7:34; 25:10)
The fast of the tenth will be joy and gladness for the house of Judah. (Zechariah 8:19)
Be glad about Jerusalem; rejoice in it. (Isaiah 66:10)
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom. (Lamentations 4:21)
The heavens will be glad and the earth will rejoice. (Psalms 96:11)
They will make me hear joy and gladness. (Psalms 51:8)
Joy and gladness will be found in Zion, thanksgiving and the voice of singing. (Isaiah 51:3)
There will be gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth. (Luke 1:14)
I will stop the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride. (Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10)
In this place the voice of joy and the voice of gladness will be heard again, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride. (Jeremiah 33:10-11)
This pair of expressions also occurs elsewhere.
Both joy and gladness are mentioned because joy applies to goodness and gladness applies to truth. Joy relates to love; gladness relates to wisdom. Joy relates to the heart; gladness relates to the spirit. Joy relates to the will; gladness relates to the intellect.
The marriage between the Lord and the church is obviously meant here when it mentions the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride (Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10; 33:10-11). The Lord is the bridegroom and the church is the bride. For the Lord as the bridegroom, see Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19-20; Luke 5:34-35. For the church as the bride, see Revelation 21:2, 9; 22:17. Therefore John the Baptist said of Jesus, "The One who has the bride is the groom" (John 3:29).
252. It is similar with many other expressions, as, for instance, when joy is mentioned, there is also a mention of gladness. This is clear in the following passages:
Look, joy and gladness, the slaughtering of an ox, Isaiah 22:13.
Joy and gladness will escort them; sorrow and groaning will flee away, Isaiah 35:10; 51:11.
Cut off from the house of our God are gladness and joy, Joel 1:16.
The sound of joy and the sound of gladness shall be banished, Jeremiah 7:34; 25:10.
The fast of the tenth [month] will become joy and gladness for the house of Judah, Zechariah 8:19.
Be glad in Jerusalem, rejoice in her, Isaiah 66:10.
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, Lamentations 4:21.
The heavens will be glad, and the earth will rejoice, Psalms 96:11. 1
You 2 will make me hear joy and gladness, Psalms 51:8.
Joy and gladness will be found in Zion, confession and the sound of song, Isaiah 51:3.
There will be gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth, Luke 1:14.
I shall cause to cease the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10.
There will still be heard in this place the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, and the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, Jeremiah 33:10-11.
There are other passages too.
The reason why both joy and gladness are mentioned is that joy is used referring to good and gladness referring to truth, in other words joy is used of love and gladness of wisdom. For joy is an emotion of the heart, gladness of the spirit, in other words, joy is of the will and gladness of the understanding. It is plain that there is a marriage of the Lord and the church also in these, because it is said:
The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10; 33:10-11.
The Lord is the bridegroom and the church is the bride. For the Lord as bridegroom see Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19-20; Luke 5:34-35; and for the church as bride, Revelation 21:2, 9; 22:17. This is why John the Baptist said of Jesus:
He who has the bride is the bridegroom, John 3:29.

252. It is the same with many other words; for example where "joy" is mentioned, "gladness" also is mentioned, as in the following passages:
Behold, joy and gladness, to slay an ox (Isaiah 22:13).
They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11).
Gladness and joy are cut off from the house of our God (Joel 1:18).
The voice of joy and the voice of gladness shall be taken away (Jeremiah 7:34; 25:10).
The fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah for joy and gladness (Zechariah 8:19).
Be glad in Jerusalem, and rejoice in her (Isaiah 66:10).
Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom (Lamentations 4:21).
Let the heavens be glad and let the earth rejoice (Psalms 96:11).
Make me to hear joy and gladness (Psalms 51:8).
Joy and gladness shall be found in Zion, confession, and the voice of melody (Isaiah 51:3).
There shall be gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth (Luke 1:14).
I will cause to cease the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride (Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10).
Again there shall be heard in this place, the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride (Jeremiah 33:10, 11); and elsewhere. Both joy and gladness are mentioned, because joy is predicated of good and gladness of truth, or joy of love and gladness of wisdom; for joy belongs to the heart and gladness to the spirit, or joy to the will and gladness to the understanding. That there is also a marriage of the Lord and the church in these words is evident from the expression:
The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride (Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10; 33:10, 11);
for the Lord is the Bridegroom, and the church is the bride. That the Lord is the Bridegroom may be seen,Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19, 20; Luke 5:34, 35; that the church is the bride,Revelation 21:2, 9; 22:17. Therefore John the Baptist said of Jesus:
He that hath the bride is the Bridegroom (John 3:29).
252. Many other expressions are used in this way, like joy and gladness, as in the following passages:
"And behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen" Isaiah 22:13.
"They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away" Isaiah 35:10; 51:11.
"Is not... joy and gladness cut off from the house of our God"? Joel 1:16.
"The voice of joy shall cease and the voice of gladness" Jeremiah 7:34; 25:10.
"The fast of the tenth month shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness" Zechariah 8:19.
"Be glad in Jerusalem, and rejoice in her" Isaiah 66:10.
"Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom" Lamentations 4:21.
"Let the heavens be glad (A.V., rejoice), and let the earth rejoice (A.V., be glad)" Psalms 96:11.
"Make me to hear joy and gladness" Psalms 2:8.
"Joy and gladness shall be found in Zion, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody" Isaiah 2:3.
"There shall be gladness; and many shall rejoice at His birth" Luke 1:14.
"I will cause to cease... the voice of joy (A.V., mirth), and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride" Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10.
"Again there shall be heard in this place... the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness; the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride" Jeremiah 33:10-11; and elsewhere.
Both joy and gladness are mentioned in these passages because joy is used with reference to good, and gladness, with reference to truth; that is, joy has reference to love, and gladness to wisdom. For joy pertains to the heart, and gladness to the spirit; that is, joy pertains to the will, and gladness to the understanding. It is evident that the marriage of the Lord and the Church is also involved in these dual expressions, as mention is made of:
"the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride" Jeremiah 7:34; 16:9; 25:10; 33:10-11;
for the Lord is the bridegroom and the Church is the bride.
That the Lord is the bridegroom, may be seen in Matthew 9:16; Mark 2:19-20; Luke 5:38;
and, that the Church is the bride, may be seen in Revelation 21:2, 9; and Revelation 22:17.
Therefore John the Baptist said of Jesus:
"He that hath the bride is the bridegroom" John 3:29.
252. Simile est cum multis aliis; sicut quod ubi dicitur GAUDIUM, etiam dicatur LAETITIA, ut in his; Ecce GAUDIUM et LAETITIA occidere bovem, Esaias 22:13. GAUDIUM et LAETITIA assequentur, fugient tristitia 1 et gemitus, Esaias 35:10; 51:11. Excisum est e Domo Dei nostri LAETITIA et GAUDIUM, Joel 1:16. Abrogabitur vox GAUDII et vox LAETITIAE, Jeremias 7:34; 25:10. Jejunium decimi erit domui Jehudae in GAUDIUM et LAETITIAM, Sacharia 8:19. LAETEMINI in Hierosolyma, 2 GAUDETE in ea, 3 Esaias 66:10. GAUDE et LAETARE filia Edomi, Threni 4:21. 4 LAETABUNTUR Coeli, et GAUDEBIT Terra, Psalm 96:11. 5 Audire me facies 6 GAUDIUM et LAETITIAM, Psalm 51:10. 7 GAUDIUM et LAETITIA invenietur in Zione, Confessio et vox cantus, Esaias 51:3. Erit 8 LAETITIA, et multi super nativitate Ipsius GAUDEBUNT, Luca 1:14. Cessare faciam vocem GAUDII et vocem LAETITIAE, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsae, Jeremias 7:34; 16:9; 25:10. Adhuc audietur in loco hoc vox GAUDII et vox LAETITIAE, ac vox sponsi et vox sponsae, Jeremias 33:11; 9 et alibi. Quod utrumque tam Gaudium quam Laetitia dicatur, est quia Gaudium predicatur de Bono, et Laetitia de Vero, seu Gaudium de Amore, et Laetitia de Sapientia; est enim Gaudium Cordis et Laetitia Spiritus, seu Gaudium est Voluntatis, et Laetitia est Intellectus. Quod Conjugium Domini et Ecclesiae etiam in his sit, patet ex eo, quod dicatur, Vox Gaudii et vox Laetitiae, vox Sponsi et vox Sponsae, Jeremias 7:34; 16:9, 25:10; 33:10-11; et Dominus est Sponsus et Ecclesia est Sponsa; quod Dominus sit Sponsus, videatur Matthaeus 9:15; Marcus 2:19-20; Luca 5:34-35, 10 et quod Ecclesia sit Sponsa, Apocalypsis 21:2, 9; 22:17 quare Johannes Baptista dixit de Jesu, Qui habet Sponsam Sponsus est, Johannes 3:29.
