Joy in the Lord
You may have noticed that the "Joy" is turned up to 10 on the 3:16 amplifier.

" Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises:
that by These ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and
to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience
Godliness;
And to Godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound,
They make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful
in the Knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:4-8
