happiness
A state of happiness, implying favorable circumstances
ExamplesRomans 4:6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Romans 4:9 Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, “FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Galatians 4:15 Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I testify about you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
