Exegesis
The verse is composed of three coordinated conditional segments, each introduced by ean te {ἐάν τε | e-án te} and organized around the verbs zōmen {ζῶμεν | zô-men} ‘we live’ and apothnēskōmen {ἀποθνῄσκωμεν | a-po-thnê-skō-men} ‘we die’.
In the final segment, the inferential oun {οὖν | oûn} marks a summarized conclusion: ean te zōmen, ean te apothnēskōmen {ἐάν τε ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν | e-án te zô-men, e-án te a-po-thnê-skō-men} presents a correlative “whether … or” construction.
