Exegesis
The apodosis offers two parallel results: the adjective mataia {ματαία | ma-taí-a} ‘vain’ precedes the noun phrase hē pistis hymōn {ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν | hē pís-tis hū-môn} ‘your faith’, underscoring the futility of trust without resurrection; and the clause eti este en tais hamartiais hymōn {ἔτι ἐστὲ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν | é-ti es-té en taîs ha-mar-tí-ais hū-môn} uses the adverb é-ti ‘still’ with the prepositional construction en + dative to depict an ongoing state under sin.
