Exegesis
The conditional clause ei tis estin en humin {εἴ τίς ἐστιν ἐν ὑμῖν | eí tís estín en hymîn} ‘if there is among you anyone’ presents a real possibility and functions as the protasis, while the presence of logos parakleseos {λόγος παρακλήσεως | lógos paraklḗseōs} ‘a word of exhortation’ within that clause defines the kind of contribution sought. This genitive construction conveys an idiomatic sense of a speech characterized by encouragement or instruction.
Root and etymology
peithōpi–epsilon–iota–theta–omega

In context — Acts 13:15
And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there is among you a word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
