Exegesis
The coordinating de {δέ | de} ‘but’ contrasts tines {τινές | ti-nés} ‘some’ as subject of the aorist passive ekoimēthēsan {ἐκοιμήθησαν | e-koi-mē-thē-san} ‘have fallen asleep’, a conventional Pauline euphemism for death that reinforces resurrection hope. The complex Greek structure is thus rendered in English with clear temporal markers and contrastive conjunctions.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:6
After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time; most of them remain until now, but some have fallen asleep .
