Ephesians 3:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ This agrees with the purpose God had since the beginning of time, and he carried out his plan through Christ Jesus our Lord. ¹² In Christ we can come before God with freedom and without fear. We can do this through faith in Christ. ¹³ So I ask you not to become discouraged because of the sufferings I am having for you. My sufferings are for your glory.
