Exegesis
The postpositive conjunction gar {γὰρ | gár} links the middle clause to its explanation: eucharistei gar tō theō {εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ θεῷ | eu-kha-ris-TEî gar tō the-Ō̂} ‘for he gives thanks to God’, grounding eating as an act of gratitude.
The final clause mirrors the structure of the eating clause, showing that abstaining is likewise done kyriō {κυρίῳ | ky-RÍ-ō} ‘for the Lord’ and accompanied by thanksgiving to theō {θεῷ | the-Ō̂} ‘God’.
In context — Romans 14:6
The one who considers the day, considers it for the Lord ; and the one who eats, eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God ; and the one who does not eat, for the Lord he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.
