Ephesians 1:12

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

Check both of the reference sources. Words appear different but the meanings and Strong’s listings are the same.

I suggest you use a modern translation or read verse 12 as part of verse 11.

  • To be, einai G1510.
  • Us, hemas G1473.
  • Praise, epainon G1868. Paul also uses this word in 1:6 and 1:14. All of these have the word in the same sentence.
  • Glory, doxes G1391.
  • The “ones”, tous G3588.
  • First trusted, proelpkotas G4276. Proelpizo, according to Mounce, is used once in the New Testament. It means to have hope in a person beforehand.
  • Christ, Christo G5547.

We have been chosen by the Father to be praise and be a reason for praise to go to Jesus.
