Matthew Poole and continuators on Ephesians 3:13

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you , which is your glory .

I pray you. This is an exhortation to the Ephesians, not a Prayer to God, for that follows, v. 14.

The Truth I have Preached to you being the cause of my Sufferings, and your Salvation (to which they tend as a mean to confirm your Faith) being the end of them.

Either he means, that their not fainting, or not falling away from Christ by reason of his Sufferings was their Glory, or rather, that his Sufferings were their Glory, in that he did by them seal the Truth of the Doctrine he had Preached, being still ready to suffer for what he delivered to them.
