"so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, would be to the praise of his glory."
— Ephesians 1:12, NET Bible
“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.”
“to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: ”
“to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:”
“That we may be unto the praise of his glory: we who before hoped in Christ:”
“So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:”
“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.”
He did this when he revealed to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,
toward the administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ– the things in heaven and the things on earth.
In Christ we too have been claimed as God’s own possession, since we were predestined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will
so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, would be to the praise of his glory.
And when you heard the word of truth(the gospel of your salvation)– when you believed in Christ– you were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit,
who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
