Exegesis
The perfect passive verb egegertai {ἐγήγερται | egḗgertai} “has been raised” conveys a completed past action with ongoing significance. Syntactically, the conditional protasis plus coordinated apodosis delivers Paul’s logical inference: if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ’s resurrection would also be nullified.
Root and etymology
egeiroepsilon–gamma–epsilon–iota–rho–omega

In context — 1 Corinthians 15:16
For if the dead ones are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
