ἵνα + the Subjunctive (31.14)

• Purpose Clause (Telic)
• ἵνα + the Subjunctive can express purpose
• e.g Hebrews 4.16 - προσερχώμεθα οὖν μετὰ παρρησίας τῷ θρόνῳ τῆς χάριτος, ἵνα λάβωμεν ἔλεος καὶ χάριν εὕρωμεν εἰς εὔκαιρον βοήθειαν.
• negated with μή for non-idicative mood: ἵνα μή or ὅπως μή = “in order that not” i.e. “lest”
• Appositional Clause
• Explanatory, "namely, that"
• a weaker sense than purpose
• e.g John 17.3 - αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ αἰώνιος ζωὴ ἵνα γινώσκωσιν σὲ τὸν μόνον ἀληθινὸν θεὸν καὶ ὃν ἀπέστειλας Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν. - "This is etermal life that they may know..."
  
• Very common use in John's writings
• Epexegetical Clause
• Clarifying detail for a preceding noun or adjective
• e.g. Luke 7.6 - οὐ γὰρ ἱκανός εἰμι ἵνα ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην μου εἰσέλθῃς· "I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof..."
