    KAI ho SPEI-reis ou to SÔ-ma to ge-nê-SO-me-non SPEI-reis al-LA gym-NON KOK-kon ei TY-khoi SI-tou Ê TI-nos TÔN loi-PÔN

Exegesis

The negation ou before speireis in ou speireis to sōma to genesomenon {οὐ σπείρεις τὸ σῶμα τὸ γενησόμενον | ou speí-reis tò sô-ma tò ge-nē-só-me-non} denies that the sowing pertains to the future, fully formed body.

The article-plus-participle construction in to sōma to genesomenon {τὸ σῶμα τὸ γενησόμενον | tò sô-ma tò ge-nē-só-me-non} defines “the body about to be,” marking temporal distinction.

Root and etymology

chriōchi–rho–iota–omega

to anoint, consecrate

In context1 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.
