Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance. Paradoxically, believers boast even in tribulations. Suffering is not meaningless but productive: it generates perseverance—steadfastness, endurance, the capacity to remain faithful under pressure. The mechanism is not magical but logical: enduring trials strengthens the capacity to endure.
