Exegesis

The opening sequence ouk estin theos {οὐκ ἔστιν θεὸς | ou̓k é-stin the-òs} forms a simple “not is God” structure, where the subject ‘God’ precedes two contrasting genitive complements, nekron {νεκρῶν | ne-krôn} ‘of dead (ones)’ and zonton {ζώντων | zôn-ton} ‘of living (ones)’. These genitives function as relational genitives, delimiting the sphere in which God is characterized: He is denied as “God of the dead” and affirmed as “God of the living.”
