Phillipians chapter 2 emphasizes the theme of rejoicing during times of suffering.
Joy in the midst of suffering: Paul's joy comes from his hope in what he knows, expects, and longs to see, not from his current situation. Paul encourages the Philippians to trust that suffering for Christ's sake is a privilege.

We need not and should not look for anything more, for Christ is preeminent over everyone and everything and sufficient for everything in our lives
Paul asks for prayers that his efforts to spread the gospel elsewhere would be as fruitful as they were with the Thessalonians. He tells them that he is confident that they will continue to grow in their faith. God and Christ strengthen us against the actions of the Devil.

We cannot by all our sufferings, any more than by our services, merit heaven; but by our patience under sufferings, we are prepared for the promised joy.
Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

The overseer is to be above reproach, (C) faithful to his wife, (D) temperate, (E) self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, (F) able to teach.
