Exegesis
The closing allʼ {ἀλλʼ | allʼ} ‘but’ introduces the turning point: hē lypē hymōn eis charan genēsetai {ἡ λύπη ὑμῶν εἰς χαρὰν γενήσεται | hē lý-pē hy-môn eis kha-rán ge-nḗ-se-tai} ‘your sorrow will become joy’ uses eis + accusative to express result, and genēsetai portrays an actual change of state rather than a mere replacement of one feeling with another.
In context — John 16:20
I am telling you for certain: you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, yet your sorrow will become joy.
