This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

How much more, things that pertain to this life? (Mēti ge biōtika̱). The question expects the answer no and ge adds sharp point to Paul’s surprised tone, “Need I so much as say?” It can be understood also as ellipsis, “let me not say” (mētige legō), not to say. Biōtika occurs first in Aristotle, but is common afterwards. In the papyri it is used of business matters. It is from bios (manner of life in contrast to zōē, life principle).
