Exegesis
The finite verb estin {ἐστιν | éstin} and the vocative adelphoi {ἀδελφοί | adelphoí} create a direct, pastoral address: “What then is it, brothers?”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:26
What then is it, brothers, when you come together? Each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation , has a tongue, has an interpretation; let all things be done for edification .
