Exegesis
The causal particle gar {γὰρ | gàr} introduces the explanatory clause, where the genitive phrase tōn toioutōn {τῶν τοιούτων | tôn toi-oú-tōn} is placed before the verb estin {ἐστίν | es-tín} for emphasis: “of such ones is the kingdom.”
In context — Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, “Allow the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of the heavens belongs to such as these.”
