ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

ephesians 1:12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

12. (Eph 1:6, 14).
who first trusted in Christ--rather (we Jewish Christians), "who have before hoped in the Christ": who before the Christ came, looked forward to His coming, waiting for the consolation of Israel. Compare Ac 26:6, 7, "I am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: unto which our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come." Ac 28:20, "the hope of Israel" [ALFORD]. Compare Eph 1:18; 2:12; 4:4.

ephesians 1:12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
