12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

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

12 God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God.

12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

12 We are the first people who hoped in Christ, and we were chosen so that we would bring praise to God’s glory.

12 to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

12 that we should be to the praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:

12 He planned all of this so that we who had already focused our hope on Christ would praise him and give him glory. 

12 so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory.

12 that we who hoped beforehand in Christ should be for the praise of his glory,

12 We were the first to put our hope in Christ. We were chosen to bring praise to his glory.

12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.
