Just a brief comment, George. GAR can hardly indicate a conclusion - OUN may
do so. The GAR rather indicates that v. 5 is still on the same overall theme
as the preceding verse. It adds another aspect to build on what has just
been said. The basic function of GAR is too indicate explanation,
clarification or a comment needed for a fuller understanding of the
preceding context.
