Exegesis
This is conditioned by ei nekroi ouk egeirontai {εἰ νεκροὶ οὐκ ἐγείρονται | eí ne-kroí ouk e-geí-ron-tai} ‘if the dead are not raised’, where nekroi {νεκροὶ | ne-kroí} ‘dead ones’ serves as the substantive subject and egeirontai ‘are raised’ is present passive indicative.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:32
If, in human terms , I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus, what is the benefit to me if the dead are not raised? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
