Exegesis
The emphatic clause eimi ho eimi {εἰμι ὅ εἰμι | eí-mi hó eí-mi} positions the verb before the neuter relative pronoun to assert Paul’s present identity.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:10
But through the grace of God I am who I am, and the favor He showed me was not in vain; rather, I strove more than all of them—yet it was not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
