Exegesis
Finally, the adversative all oupō to telos {ἀλλʼ οὔπω τὸ τέλος | all ou-pō tò té-los} ‘but not yet the end’ sharply qualifies the preceding necessity, stressing delay and preventing readers from equating such turmoil with the ultimate conclusion. The English renderings follow this sequence—hearing, prohibition, necessity, and delay—to preserve the escalating yet restrained movement of the Greek sentence.
Root and etymology
tel-tau–epsilon–lambda
