Exegesis
The conditional protasis uses the particle ean {ἐὰν | e-an} “if,” governing the aorist subjunctive kerdḗsē {κερδήσῃ | ker-dḗ-sē} “should gain,” whose object is the accusative phrase tòn kósmos hólon {τὸν κόσμον ὅλον | tòn kós-mon hó-lon} “the whole world.”
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?
