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.
Root and etymology
histemiiota–sigma–tau–eta–mu–iota

In context — 1 Corinthians 15:17
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless, and you are still in your sins.
