OET (OET-LV) Therefore I_am_requesting you_all not to_be_losing_heart at the tribulations of_me for you_all, which is the_glory of_you_all.
OET (OET-RV) Because of that, I’m asking you not to become discouraged over my current difficulties as I serve you all, in fact you are honoured by them.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
διὸ
therefore
The connecting word Therefore introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that the believers have access to Christ with confidence. The result is that the believers will not be discouraged. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶν δόξα ὑμῶν
for you_all which is /the/_glory ˱of˲_you_all
Here, your glory is a metonym for the salvation and eternal life that the Ephesians will have because of Paul’s work of telling them about Christ, which resulted in his suffering in prison. You can state this as a new sentence. Alternate translation: “for you. They bring you a wonderful benefit” or “for you. They result in your salvation”
3:13 my trials here: Paul is writing from jail, as a prisoner (see 3:1). He knows that suffering is to be expected and that it works for good in a believer’s life (see Rom 5:3-5; Col 1:24; 1 Thes 3:3; 2 Tim 3:12; Jas 1:2-4).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
