| Morphological Notes | Gr,CC — coordinating conjunction; indeclinable explanatory particle with no tense, voice, mood, person, number, gender, or case. |
| Rendering Rationale | γάρ is an explanatory coordinating conjunction that introduces the reason, ground, or clarification for a preceding statement. The rendering "for (giving-reason)" preserves its core function as a reason-assigning connector while reflecting its role as an indeclinable conjunction (Gr,CC) without tense, voice, or case features. |
