01 — The verse
Réjouissez-vous toujours dans le Seigneur ; je le répète, réjouissez-vous.
Rejoice in the Lord always; I say it again, rejoice.
Louis Segond 1910. Public domain. The English line is a learner gloss by the house, not a new translation.
02 — Twice
There is no recording on this card yet. Follow the highlight with your voice: once slowly, then closer to speech.
Réjouissez-vous toujours dans le Seigneur ; je le répète, réjouissez-vous.
Follow the line with your voice. Recordings will sit beside this card when they are published.

03 — Three words
réjouissez-vous
rejoice
A command with vous built in. The hyphen is part of the imperative.
toujours
always
One word. Not “all the hours you feel like it.”
le Seigneur
the Lord
Capital when it names Christ or God. Dans le Seigneur — in him, not near the idea.
A sentence for this week
Aujourd’hui, je me réjouis doucement.
04 — A faith note
Paul repeats himself on purpose. The second réjouissez-vous is not decoration. Say both.
05 — Say this
Réjouissez-vous toujours dans le Seigneur.
