Eph 1:12. Ἡμᾶς, us) Jews.-τοὺς προηλπικότας, who before or first hoped or trusted) This is the predicate. The Jews first obtained hope in Christ when manifested to them (1Co 15:19); afterwards the Gentiles, Act 13:46. The word before or first, here, is not to be referred to Old Testament times; comp. on the subject of hope, Eph 1:18; ch. Eph 2:12; Eph 4:4.
