THAT YOU MAY KNOW AND YOU MAY KNOW  Jn. 10:38
 
hINA GNWTE KAI GINWSKHTE hOTI EN EMOI hO PATHR KAGW EN TW PATRI.
 
I am interested in getting everyone's insights into this hINA clause in  John 
10:38. We first have a subjunctive aorist active second person plural  
followed by a subjunctive present active second person plural. Both could be  
translated "you may know."   The textual history seems to indicate  some discomfort 
with a double "you may know" with some copyists omitting it (if  it was 
older), or others replacing it with PISTEUSHTE (if GINWSKHTE was  older).   I have 
never been satisfied with the standard  translations.  Is there more here?
