For this cause; in view of all that has been said concerning your introduction through Christ, to the household of faith.

The prisoner of Jesus Christ; one who is subjected to imprisonment for the cause of Jesus Christ.

For you Gentiles; he was especially called to preach the gospel to the Gentiles, and admit them to the church without circumcision, on an equal footing with the Jews. For this he had been persecuted, and was not imprisoned. This first verse is the beginning of a sentence which is virtually resumed and continued at verse Eph 3:14, the intermediate verses being an expansion of the idea contained in the words, "for you Gentiles."
