Matthew Poole and continuators on Ephesians 1:6

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace ▪ wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved .

Glory of Grace, by an usual Hebraism, for glorious grace, i. e. large, abundant, admirable. The praise of this Grace the Apostle makes the end of God's chusing and predestinating us to the Adoption of Children. God hath chosen us, &c. and therein manifested his Grace to us, that such as it is in it self, such it may be aknowledged to be; and therefore praised and adored by us.

In, or through, or by the same Grace out of which he chose us.

Having chosen us in Christ, he likewise favours us, is well pleased with us in Christ, to whom we are united, whose Members we are, and in whom God looks upon us. We are hatefull in our selves as Sinners, but accepted in Christ as Sons.
