Because he abideth (dia to menein auton). Same idiom as in verse Hebrews 7:23, "because of the abiding as to him" (accusative of general reference, auton).
Unchangeable (aparabaton). Predicate adjective in the accusative (feminine of compound adjective like masculine), late double compound verbal adjective in Plutarch and papyri, from alpha privative and parabainw, valid or inviolate.
