Exegesis
The protasis centers on nekroi {νεκροὶ | nekrói} “dead ones,” a nominative plural adjective used substantivally, with the present passive indicative verb egeirontai {ἐγείρονται | egeírontai} “are raised,” negated by ouk {οὐκ | ouk}. This asserts the general principle about resurrection.
Root and etymology
egeirōepsilon–gamma–epsilon–iota–rho–omega
“to raise, awaken”
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:16
For if the dead ones are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
