Exegesis
The conditional idiom ei tychōi {εἰ τύχοι | ei tý-khoi}, an aorist optative with particle, softens the assertion—“if it should happen”—and governs the genitive phrase sitou ē tinos tōn loipōn {σίτου ἤ τινος τῶν λοιπῶν | sí-tou ē ti-nos tôn loi-pôn}, “of wheat or of some other kinds.” The progression from general principle to metaphorical clarification underscores Paul’s teaching that the resurrection body differs radically from the body sown in death.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:37
And what you sow is not the body that will be, but a bare grain —perhaps of wheat, or of some other kind.
