because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

διοτι εις εσας εχαρισθη το υπερ Χριστου, ου μονον το να πιστευητε εις αυτον, αλλα και το να πασχητε υπερ αυτου,

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
