1:24a Not that we lord it over your faith,

We (excl.) do not act as dictator over your (plur.) faith,
-or-
We do not dominate the ways you believe.
-or-
We do not arrogantly order you to believe this or that.

1:24b but we are fellow workers with you for your joy,

but we are your co-workers in order to make you happy,
-or-
Rather, we are working as partners with you for your happiness,

1:24c because it is by faith that you stand firm.

for you remain ⌊steadfast⌋ by faith.
-or-
because you have stood ⌊strong⌋ by believing ⌊in Jesus⌋.
