ei de khree-STOS ouk e-GEE-gēr-tai ke-NON A-ra to KÊ-ryg-ma hê-MON ke-NÊ kai hê PI-stis hy-MÔN
Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} parallels this in the second clause: he pistis hymon {ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν | hē pís-tis hy-môn} with kene {κενὴ | ke-nḗ} as its predicate adjective, forming a rhetorical parallelism that underscores how both preaching and faith collapse without Christ’s resurrection.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:14
But if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is empty , and your faith is empty as well.
