Exegesis
The conjunction allʼ {ἀλλʼ | allʼ} introduces a contrast, leading into the open conditional formed by eán plus the subjunctive metanoḗte {ἐὰν μετανοῆτε | eán metanoḗte}, which underscores the ongoing necessity of repentance.
In context — Luke 13:3
No, I say to you; but if you do not repent , you all will perish in the same way .
