Exegesis
The next clause begins with peithometha gar hoti {πειθόμεθα γὰρ ὅτι | peithómetha gàr hóti}, where the postpositive gar links this sentence logically to the surrounding context and introduces an explanation: “for we are convinced that…”. The hoti clause functions as a content clause, giving what the writers are convinced of.
In context — Hebrews 13:18
Pray concerning us, for we are convinced that we have a good conscience , in all things desiring to conduct ourselves honorably.
