Ephesians 3:13 (KJV): “Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.”🔍 Explanation:Paul is writing to the believers in Ephesus from prison. He wants them to stay encouraged despite his suffering.1. “Wherefore I desire that ye faint not”Paul is saying, “Don’t lose heart” or “Don’t be discouraged.”The Ephesian believers might have felt sorrow or worry seeing Paul imprisoned for preaching the gospel. But Paul urges them not to let that weaken their faith.2. “At my tribulations for you”Paul’s trials—his imprisonment, beatings, and hardships—were not because of wrongdoing, but because he was faithful in bringing the gospel to the Gentiles.He endured these things for their sake, to make known the mystery that Gentiles are also partakers of Christ (Ephesians 3:6).3. “Which is your glory”Paul’s suffering was not a defeat—it was actually part of God’s plan to bring salvation to the Gentiles.His perseverance in hardship became a testimony to the power and truth of the gospel, bringing glory to the believers who benefited from his ministry.✨ Summary:Paul’s message in this verse: “Don’t be discouraged because I’m suffering. My suffering has a purpose—it’s for your benefit, to bring you into the blessings of Christ. This is your glory, not a cause for sorrow.”
