Exegesis
The causal clause hapantes gar esmen enthade {ἅπαντες γάρ ἐσμεν ἐνθάδε | há-pan-tes gár es-men en-thá-de} explains the reason: hapantes is foregrounded to highlight inclusivity, gar signals causality, and enthade locates all present in the same place. English word order is adjusted for clarity while preserving the cause-effect progression.
In context — Acts 16:28
But Paul let out a loud cry, "Do not inflict any bodily injury on yourself, for we are all here."
