That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Who first trusted in Christ - rather (we Jewish Christians), 'who have before hoped х proeelpikotas (G4276)] in the х too (G3588)] Christ:' who before He came have had our hope in Him (not merely 'toward Him'), waiting for the consolation of Israel. Compare Acts 26:6-7; Acts 28:20; Ephesians 1:18; Ephesians 2:12; Ephesians 4:4. See Ephesians 1:6; Ephesians 1:1.
