Exegesis
The conditional conjunction ean {ἐὰν | e-án} with me {μὴ | mḕ} and the aorist subjunctive apothane {ἀποθάνῃ | a-po-thánē} in the protasis require that death must occur before life. This structure moves from the rebuke to the illustrative principle that life follows death. Both English reconstructions preserve the sequence by maintaining the vocative, treating the relative clause as the subject, and rendering the indispensable “unless” clause for the main assertion.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:36
O senseless one , what you sow does not receive life unless it dies.
