Exegesis
The particle gar introduces the reason dynateî gar ho kýrios stêsai autón {δυνατεῖ γὰρ ὁ κύριος στῆσαι αὐτόν | dynateî | kýrios | stêsai | autón}, identifying the Lord as the subject with the power-intensive infinitive stêsai to secure the servant’s posture, contrasting human uncertainty with sure divine support.
