Exegesis
The adversative phrase alla kai {ἀλλὰ καὶ | allà kaí} ‘but also’ introduces the apodosis, where the genitive tēs anastaseōs {τῆς ἀναστάσεως | tês a-na-stá-se-ōs} ‘of resurrection’ continues the participial sense by ellipsis of the verb, and the future middle esometha {ἐσόμεθα | e-só-me-tha} ‘we will be’ asserts confident expectation. This parallel structure underscores the symmetry of sharing in Christ’s death and resurrection.
In context — Romans 6:5
For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we will also share in His resurrection.
