ἵνα, I. an adv. of Place. fr. Hom. down, esp. in the poets; a. where; in what place. b. to what place; whither. Of the former signification C. F. A. Fritzsche (on Mt. p. 836; differently in Fritzschiorum Opusce. p. 186 sqq-.) thought he had found two examples in bibl. Greek, and H. A. W. Meyer agrees with him. The first viz. iva μὴ φυσιοῦσθε, 1 Co. iv. 6, they explain thus: where (i. e. in which state of things viz. when ye have leatned from my example to think humbly of yourselves) the one is not exalted to the other’s disadvantage; the second, iva αὐτοὺς ζηλοῦτε, Gal. iv. 17, thus: where ye zealously court them; but see II. 1 d. below. “ iva I. a final Conjunction (for from local direction, indicated by the adverb, the transition was easy te mental direction or intention) denoting pur pose and end: to the intent that; to the end that, in order that; ἵνα pn, that not, lest; it is used 1. prop. of the purpose or end; a. foll. by the Optative; only twice, and then preceded by the pres. of a verb of praying or beseeching, where the wish (optatio) expressed by the prayer gave occasion for the use of the optat.: Eph. i. 17 but WH mrg. subj.; iii. 16 RG; cf. W. 290 (273); B. 233 (201); and yet in both instances the telic force of the particle is so weakened that it denotes the substance rather than the end of the prayer; see 2 below. Ὁ. foll. by the Subjuncetive, not only (according to the rule observed by the best Grk. writ.) after the primary tenses (pres., pf., fut.) or the imperative, but (in accordance with that wellknown negligence with which in later times and esp. by Hellenistic writers the distinction between the subjunc. and the optat. was disregarded) after preterites even where the more elegant Grk. writ. were wont to use the optat.; οἵ.
