AI Summary

Ἵνα is a conjunction meaning "in order that" or "so that," introducing the purpose or goal of an action ⁴¹²³. It usually stands as the first word of the clause it introduces, though an emphatic word can sometimes precede it ¹³, and the verb that follows is typically subjunctive, occasionally an indicative or future in later Greek ¹³. Its negative form expresses a purpose that something should not happen, corresponding to "lest" ².

Ἵνα can also function much like the word "that," introducing the content of what someone wishes, asks, commands, or says is fitting, rather than stating a purpose—serving in place of an infinitive after such verbs ¹. Later Greek likewise uses it after verbs of command and entreaty in this way ³.

Ἵνα further came to mark a result rather than a purpose, meaning "so that," describing the outcome or consequence of something; this usage appears in later Greek ¹².
