For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows in this verse explains what Paul said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοῖς ἀνθρώποις

˱by˲_the people

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “by people”
