1 ἵνα[a] and ὅπως[b] seem to have similar meanings and in some contexts appear to be substituted one for the other for stylistic purposes. It is, of course, possible that even in the meaning of purpose ὅπως[b] suggests something of the manner or way in which the purpose is to be realized, but it is impossible on the basis of existing contexts to make a clear distinction between ἵνα[a] and ὅπως[b] when they serve as markers of purpose. 2 In a number of instances, a marker of direct discourse is not represented in translation, particularly if what is indirect discourse in the Greek text is rendered as direct discourse.
