Our glory or of our glory?
Hi. Please help. It is written in Ephesians 3:13, in the NIV version of the Bible:
I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Could the last part that starts with "which" (after the comma) be "which are of your glory"? Maybe the original meaning gets changed by inserting the word "of" (I don't know), but do we usually say "sufferings" are our glory or they are "of our glory"?
