How would you translate it "circumstantially"? (I know that's not the test
of an exegetical decision, but it helps me understand what you mean.) I've
taken it temporally: "in which [time]..." = "then you will rejoice..."

Whoops! You're right. It was intended to be drawn as an infinitive; I
dragged the wrong piece out of Accordance's tool palette.

I've taken LUPHQENTES as an adverbial (aka, circumstantial) *concessive*
ptcp ("although you may suffer...").
In light of your comments, and rethinking some of this sentence, what about
taking the hINA clause as the subject of ESTIN DEON ("that the approved
quality of your faith should be found... is necessary")? This would take
hINA as a noun clause; alternately, one might take ESTIN DEON impersonally
and the hINA clause as epexegetical...? But I think the noun clause is better.

Good idea.
(Some are prob. reading this and scratching their head that some people
still try to analyze a text this way! That is, by diagramming.)
