The CEV and The Message treat this as a litotes (i.e., an understatement 
in which an affirmative is expressed by the negative of the contrary - 
Webster). I.e.:

"I am proud of the gospel."

For those more well-read in Greek literature, how valid is this 
treatment of the phrase OU GAR EPAISCUNOMAI?
