It may be worth repeating that hINA is not a purpose conjunction, at least
not in Koine Greek. It is a consecutive conjunction which may express
purpose or result depending on context and the verbs used.
Or it may express a clausal object or complement as in 1:9. Sometimes, it is
not clear whether it is one or the other. The 1:10 hINA is probably result.
