Exegesis
The clause begins with the nominative theos {θεὸς | the-ós} “God” emphasized by its front position, followed by the postpositive coordinating conjunction de {δὲ | dè} “but” and the negation ouk {οὐκ | ouk} combined with the verb estin {ἔστιν | éstin} “is,” denying that God is characterized by the genitive nekrōn {νεκρῶν | ne-krōn} “of the dead.”
