Exegesis
The conditional clause with Ei {Εἰ | Ei} ‘if’ plus estin {ἔστιν | é-stin} introduces a logical assertion: if there is a natural body, there is likewise a corresponding spiritual body, with kai {καὶ | kaí} marking that correspondence. Greek ellipsis omits the second sōma, which English restores for clarity. This structure supports Paul’s argument that resurrection involves a transformed but still bodily existence.
Root and etymology
gerōg-eí-rō
“to raise, awaken”
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:44
A natural body is sown; a spiritual body is raised. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
