Exegesis
alla kai {οὐ μόνον … ἀλλὰ καὶ | ou mó-non … al-là kaí} structure escalates from material to personal stakes, first listing tou fortiou kai tou ploiou {τοῦ φορτίου καὶ τοῦ πλοίου | toû fortíou kaì toû ploíou} “of the cargo and the ship” in the genitive and then tōn psychōn hēmōn {τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν | tôn psychōn hē-môn} “of our lives,” intensifying the warning.
In context — Acts 27:10
He said to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to involve hardship and great loss—not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives .”
