Exegesis
The second parallel question is signaled by ḕ {ἢ | ḕ} “or,” with the future indicative dṓsei {δώσει | dṓ-sei} “will give” and its object the accusative antállagma {ἀντάλλαγμα | an-tál-lag-ma} “exchange” governed by the genitive tês psuchês autoû {τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ | tês psu-chḗs au-toû}. This parallelism underscores the spiritual priority over material acquisition.
Root and etymology
allag-alpha–lambda–lambda–alpha–gamma
“change, exchange”
In context — Matthew 16:26
For what will a man gain if he obtains the whole world but forfeits his soul ? Or what will a man offer in exchange for his soul?
