“And ye now therefore haue sorrow: but I will see you againe, and your heart shall reioyce, and your ioy no man taketh from you.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
16:22 Ye now therefore have sorrow - This gives us no manner of authority to assert all believers must come into a state of darkness. They never need lose either their peace, or love, or the witness that they are the children of God. They never can lose these, but either through sin, or ignorance, or vehement temptation, or bodily disorder.
Joh 16:22 Ye now therefore have sorrow. Are in travail, but soon there shall be a birth, "the First Born of the new creation" (see Ro 8:29 Col 1:15-18) from the tomb.
