Jim,
        The trouble is with the preposition. U(MW=N is not used as a
possessive here, as your translation would put it, but rather is the
object of the preposition. So Paul is not writing about "your
sufferings", but rather sufferings "U(PE\R U(MW=N," i.e. sufferings on
behalf of you, i.e. sufferings for your sake. "My" is implied.
