Exegesis
The second clause, ouk estin ho theos nekrōn alla zōntōn {οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων | ouk éstin ho theós nekrôn allà zṓntōn}, follows a clear “not … but …” contrastive pattern, where ouk negates the verb estin and alla introduces the corrective affirmation. Here ho theos functions again as a predicate nominative, with the implicit subject understood from the preceding divine declaration.
In context — Matthew 22:32
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead , but of the living.
