Exegesis
The explanatory conjunction gar {γὰρ | gàr} introduces the rationale: to gar ergon kyriou ergazetai {τὸ γὰρ ἔργον κυρίου ἐργάζεται | tò gàr ér-gon ky-rí-ou er-gá-ze-tai}, with to ergon {τὸ ἔργον | tò ér-gon} the specific “work” as the nominative subject, and the genitive kyriou {κυρίου | ky-rí-ou} marking the Lord’s ownership.
Root and etymology
erg-epsilon–rho–gamma
