Exegesis

The prepositional phrase epi tē adikia {ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ | e-pí tēi a-di-kíāi} functions as a dative of sphere, indicating the realm “at” or “over” which joy would be expressed, here marked as morally improper.

Its complement, tē aletheia {τῇ ἀληθείᾳ | tēi a-lē-théiāi} ‘the truth’, again in the dative, parallels the earlier dative phrase and highlights the proper moral sphere of love’s joy. English renderings mirror this antithetical parallelism (“not rejoice at… but rejoice with…”) and preserve the progression from solitary gloating over evil to shared delight in what is true.

In context1 Corinthians 13:6

It does not rejoice at injustice , but rejoices with the truth .
