I've never seen any convincing reason to reject it, since (a) EFOBOUNTO is
a complete subject-predicate unit in itself; (b) GAR is postpositive; and
(c) GAR is properly used to indicate an explanatory function of EFOBOUNTO
to the preceding OUDENI OUDEN EIPAN. Conquently, although there may be
objections to the pericope as a conclusion to the gospel, I cannot discern
any cogent reason to reject EFOBOUNTO GAR as the end of this pericope.
