For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
All Commentaries on Ephesians 3:1 Go To Ephesians 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He has mentioned Christ's great and affectionate care; he now passes on to his own, insignificant indeed as it is, and a very nothing in comparison with that, and yet this is enough to engage them to himself. For this cause, says he, am I also bound. For if my Lord was crucified for your sakes, much more am I bound. He not only was bound Himself, but allows His servants to be bound also—for you Gentiles. It is full of emphasis; not only do we no longer loathe you, but we are even bound, says he, for your sakes and of this exceeding grace am I partaker.
