そのために + 句子

Connects to the previous context and shows that the following clause is a result of it or an action taken for that purpose.

Whether it means cause or purpose depends on context. In causal use, it often overlaps with だから.

It is said there will be heavy snow in the afternoon. For that reason, the school ended classes early.

Do not assume ために always means purpose; そのために often expresses a causal result.
