Acts 5:41
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.”
χαίρω
To rejoice, to be glad. Chairo. Rejoice in the Lord always. Chairo is more than feeling happy. It is the settled joy of one who knows God is in control and that the outcome is certain.
