For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
All Commentaries on Ephesians 3:1 Go To Ephesians 3
Jerome
AD 420
After a diligent search I have found nothing that answers to his prior clause…. For he does not say, “For this reason I, Paul, have done this or that or have taught this or that.” Instead, leaving the thought in suspense, he goes on to other matters. Perhaps we ought to pardon him for what he himself has admitted when he said, “if unschooled in speech, at least not in knowledge,” and look for order in his meaning rather than in his words. This can be rendered as follows: “I, Paul, in the chains of Jesus Christ and in chains for you Gentiles, have learned the mystery so that I may hand it on to you.” .
