Exegesis
The causal conjunction epei {ἐπεὶ | e-peí} introduces a causal clause, followed by the predicate nominative zelotai {ζηλωταί | zē-lō-taí} with the copula este {ἐστε | é-ste}, yielding ‘since you are zealous’.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:12
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek to excel for the building up of the church.
