Exegesis
The verse begins with the adversative conjunction all {ἀλλ᾽ | allá} and the negative particle ou {οὐ | ou} paired with the adverbial form proton {πρῶτον | pró-ton} to deny initial precedence for the spiritual element.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:46
Yet it is not the spiritual first, but the natural ; then the spiritual comes.
