Exegesis
The core of the verse is a third-class conditional construction: ean elthō pros hymas {ἐὰν ἔλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς | ean elthō pros hymâs} “if I come to you,” presenting a real but hypothetical scenario.
This leads to the rhetorical question ti hymas ōphelēsō {τί ὑμᾶς ὠφελήσω | ti hymâs ōphelēsō} “what will I benefit you?”, where the placement of hymas before the verb highlights the concern for the hearers’ advantage.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:6
Now, brothers , if I come to you speaking in tongues , what will I profit you, unless I speak to you either by revelation or by knowledge or by prophecy or by teaching?
