I did an Accordance search and came up with 149 occurrences of hINA TI in
the LXX (22 in Psalms) and 2 in the NT (Jn 13.29; Rom 1.11). However, the NT
occurrences are not the idiomatic usage as described above; the TI in these
cases is the object of a following verb. So, at least on first inspection,
it appears there are no cases of the above expression in the NT. In doing a
cursory inspection of the LXX results, though, it appears that they are
legitimate cases of the above expression, although there are some that
appear to have a slightly different nuance. Hope this helps.
