“Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.”
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. — Symchairō (rejoice together) and sympatheō (suffer together, empathize) establish emotional solidarity. This is not sentimental but embodied—the Christian community shares its members' joys and sorrows. The symmetry suggests that solidarity is the fundamental posture.
