Exegesis
In the second clause, the temporal-negative adverb oupō {οὔπω | oúpō} with the present tense echete {ἔχετε | é-che-te} expresses a continuing lack of pistin {πίστιν | pí-stin} “faith.” These two parallel questions form a compact rebuke, first addressing fear and then its underlying deficiency, a structure reflected in our English reconstructions.
In context — Mark 4:40
And He said to them, “Why are you so cowardly ? Do you not yet have faith?”
