HO-tan de a-KOU-sê-te po-LE-mous kai a-ka-ta-sta-SI-as mê pto-ê-THÊ-te DEI gar TAU-ta ge-NES-thai PRÔ-ton al ouk eu-THE-ôs to TE-los
Exegesis
The adversative allʼ {ἀλλʼ | allʼ} ‘but’ sharply turns the sentence toward the final qualification, while ouk eutheōs to telos {οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος | ouk eu-thé-ōs to té-los} ‘not immediately the end’ is a compressed conclusion that places the timing adverb before the noun phrase for emphasis, preserving the contrast between necessary preliminary troubles and the delayed consummation.
In context — Luke 21:9
But whenever you hear of wars and unrest , do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not be immediate.
