Exegesis
That clause, introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti}, predicates egēgertai {ἐγήγερται | e-gḗ-ger-tai} with the genitive nekrōn {νεκρῶν | ne-krôn}, “from the dead,” emphasizing emergence from death.
A second hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces anastasis nekrōn ouk estin {ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν | a-nás-ta-sis ne-krôn ouk é-stin}, “there is no resurrection of the dead,” where anastasis is fronted for emphasis and ouk precedes estin to sharpen denial. This construction preserves Paul’s argumentative force by juxtaposing the proclamation of Christ’s resurrection with the denial of a general resurrection.
Root and etymology
nekrosnu–epsilon–kappa–rho–omicron–sigma
“dead, corpse”
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:12
Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead , how is it that some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
