Exegesis
The apodosis outhen eimi {οὐθέν εἰμι | outhén eimí} places the indefinite pronoun outhen in the predicate position, expressing total nullification of the speaker’s significance without love. In translation, the distinct “if” clauses and the coordinating “and” are preserved to reflect the piling-up effect, while “so as to move mountains” renders the hōste + infinitive result clause in clear, idiomatic English.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:2
And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love , I am nothing.
