Exegesis
The conditional clause ei holōs nekroi ouk egeirontai {εἰ ὅλως νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται | ei hó-lōs ne-kroí ouk e-geí-ron-tai} presents a hypothetical denial of resurrection, where holōs intensifies “not at all” and the passive egeirontai portrays resurrection as divinely effected.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:29
Otherwise, what will those do who are being baptized on behalf of the dead , if the dead are not raised at all? Why, then, are they also baptized for them?
