Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē zōē tautē {ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ταύτῃ | en tê zō-ḗ taú-tē} establishes the strictly temporal sphere, with monon {μόνον | mó-non} placed after the verb esmen {ἐσμὲν | es-mèn} to heighten the exclusive restriction on temporal scope.
Root and etymology
zaōzeta–alpha–omega
“to live”
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:19
If our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are of all people most pitiable .
