Exegesis
The relative pronoun ho {ὃ | hó} introduces “what you sow,” with speireis {σπείρεις | speí-reis} as its verb and ou {οὐ | ou} negating zoopoieitai {ζῳοποιεῖται | zō-ō-poi-eî-tai}, “is made alive,” to assert the lack of life in the seed as it stands.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:36
O senseless one , what you sow does not receive life unless it dies.
