SUFFERING=SERVICE

Roger Staubach is an American football player. He was once asked when injured, "How do you keep on keeping on if you’re playing professional football"? Roger said something important, "If you’re not playing hurt, you’re not playing football."

Paul expresses a similar truth: if you're not suffering for the King, then it's because you're not truly serving the King.
