Exegesis
The interrogative clause begins with ti eti kagō {τί ἔτι κἀγὼ | tí éti kagṓ}, stacking the interrogative pronoun ti “why” with the adverb eti “still/yet” and the emphatic subject kagō “and I,” heightening the sense of personal protest.
Root and etymology
peithopi–epsilon–iota–theta–omega
“to persuade, to trust”
In context — Romans 3:7
But if the truth of God has abounded through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
