Exegesis
The interrogative adverb pos {πῶς | pôs} ‘how’ introduces the main question, followed by the future verb erei {ἐρεῖ | e-reî} and its object to amen {τὸ ἀμὴν | to a-mḕn}, the stereotyped congregational response signaling agreement.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:16
For if you bless with the spirit , how will the one occupying the place of the unlearned say the Amen at your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
