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 were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory.
So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory!
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
so that we who had already put our hope in Christ might bring praise to his glory.

He did this so we Jews would bring honor to him and be the first ones to have hope because of him.
that we should be to [the] praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:
so-that we, the ones having previously-hoped in the Christ, might be for the praise of His glory,
That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:
We Jews were the first to hope in Christ. And we were chosen so that we would bring praise to God in all his glory.
We were the first people to trust in Christ, God's special Messiah. God wanted us to show how great he is. He wanted people to praise him because of us.
He did this so that his glory would be praised as a result of us, who were the first to hope in Christ.

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

And you too trusted him, when you heard the message of truth, the Gospel of your salvation. And after you gave your confidence to him you were, so to speak, stamped with the promised Holy Spirit as a guarantee of purchase, until the day when God completes the redemption of what he has paid for as his own; and that will again be to the praise of his glory.
so that we should be to the praise of his glory, those of us who first trusted in the Christ.

that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, should live for the praise of His glory.
