Exegesis
The parallel clause repeats diʼ anthropou followed by anastasis nekrōn {ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν | anástasis nekrōn} ‘resurrection of the dead’, creating a balanced contrast: as death is mediated through a man, so the resurrection is mediated through a man. Anthropou functions as a genitive of agency with the preposition, and nekrōn is a partitive genitive specifying those receiving the resurrection. Implied verbs (‘came’, ‘comes’) are supplied to preserve the Greek’s rhetorical symmetry.
Root and etymology
nekrosnu–epsilon–kappa–rho–omicron–sigma
“dead, corpse”
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:21
For since death came through a man, through a man also comes the resurrection of the dead.
