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

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

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

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

so that we who had already put our hope in Christ might bring praise to his glory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son.

But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

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.

“ Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I take great delight. I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick, until he brings justice to victory.And in his name the Gentiles will hope.”

Give sincere homage! Otherwise he will be angry, and you will die because of your behavior, when his anger quickly ignites. How blessed are all who take shelter in him!

Under his rule Judah will enjoy safety and Israel will live in security. This is the name he will go by:‘ The LORD has provided us with justice.’

At that time a root from Jesse will stand like a signal flag for the nations. Nations will look to him for guidance, and his residence will be majestic.

to demonstrate in the coming ages the surpassing wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver!Their life’s breath departs, they return to the ground; on that day their plans die.How blessed is the one whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

And again Isaiah says,“ The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope.”Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

“ Here is my servant whom I support, my chosen one in whom I take pleasure. I have placed my spirit on him; he will make just decrees for the nations.He will not cry out or shout; he will not publicize himself in the streets.A crushed reed he will not break, a dim wick he will not extinguish; he will faithfully make just decrees.He will not grow dim or be crushed before establishing justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait in anticipation for his decrees.”

By his sovereign plan he gave us birth through the message of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

All the descendants of Israel will be vindicated by the LORD and will boast in him.

The LORD says,“ I will put a curse on people who trust in mere human beings, who depend on mere flesh and blood for their strength, and whose hearts have turned away from the LORD.They will be like a shrub in the desert. They will not experience good things even when they happen. It will be as though they were growing in the desert, in a salt land where no one can live.My blessing is on those people who trust in me, who put their confidence in me.

“ Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in God; believe also in me.

Look, God is my deliverer! I will trust in him and not fear. For the LORD gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer.”

I solemnly make this oath– what I say is true and reliable:‘ Surely every knee will bow to me, every tongue will solemnly affirm;

to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Look, a king will promote fairness; officials will promote justice.Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from a rainstorm; like streams of water in a dry region and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.

Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day.
