Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {Καὶ | kaí} ‘and’, linking back to the vision of New Jerusalem.
Finally, kai to arnion {καὶ τὸ ἀρνίον | kaí tò arní-on} ‘and the Lamb’ functions as a co-subject, establishing the Lamb as the city’s temple alongside God. In translation, “because” or “since” captures the causal force of gar, and “are” reflects their joint status as the temple.

kainoskappa–alpha–iota–nu–omicron–sigma
