Exegesis
Subsequent ellipses are resolved in ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ κτηνῶν {ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ κτηνῶν | állē dè sárx ktē-nṓn}, “another flesh for beasts,” ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ πτηνῶν {ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ πτηνῶν | állē dè sárx ptē-nṓn}, “another flesh for birds,” and ἄλλη δὲ ἰχθύων {ἄλλη δὲ ἰχθύων | állē dè ikh-thú-ōn}, “another for fish.” The genitive plurals articulate distinct subgroups within creation. Translators render the genitives with possessive or belonging phrases to preserve the parallel structure.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:39
Not every kind of flesh is the same; there is one type of flesh belonging to humans , another belonging to beasts, another to birds, and another to fish.
