Exegesis
The second clause begins with the nominative article to {τὸ | tó} followed by γάρ, forming the phrase to gar byssinon {τὸ γὰρ βύσσινον | tó gár býssinon}, which frontloads the subject ‘for the fine linen’ for emphasis.
In context — Revelation 19:8
And it was given to her so that she might clothe herself in fine linen , bright and pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints .
