Joy is an important element in all of Paul’s letters. This article analyses the theme of joy in First Thessalonians and the contribution it makes to the theme of joy in Christian life. The terminology of joy (the noun χαρά and the verb χαίρω) occurs six times in this letter. The exegesis shows the following inherent characteristics of joy as found in this epistle: joy originates from the Holy Spirit and it has a complex shape – it is the joy of the word of God together with its reception and action; it is the joy of faith, conversion, and a new way of life. It is also joy in spite of many tribulations and suffering. Last but not least, this joy is a part of God´s will, and on that account Paul encourages his readers to preserve in joy.
