Exegesis
The demonstrative touto {τοῦτο | toûto} introduces the causal gar {γὰρ | gár} clause pros tes hymeteras soterias {πρὸς τῆς ὑμετέρας σωτηρίας | pròs tês hymetéras sōtērías}, where pros with genitive conveys benefit for safety, linked by hyparchei {ὑπάρχει | hypárkhei} “it exists.”
A second causal oudenos gar hymon thrix apo tes kephales apoleitai {οὐδενὸς γὰρ ὑμῶν θρὶξ ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἀπολεῖται | oudenós gár hymôn thríx apó tês kephalês apoleîtai} reassures total protection, with thrix “hair” in nominative and the future middle apoleitai “will perish” expressing absolute safety. Greek word order places reasons after the exhortation, preserved here for natural English flow.
In context — Acts 27:34
Therefore I urge you to partake of food, for this is for your preservation ; for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.
