[B-Greek] Punctuation of John 9:3-4

Yes, this use of ALL hINA looks similar to the one in John 9:3. I'm having a hard time getting my mind around this usage. It seems very elliptical, requiring the reader to fill in the missing content from the context. I suppose it takes some practice seeing different usages of this construction to get the hang of how to fill it in. We don't have anything comparable to it in English that I can think of.

Oun,

Yes, of course. 1 Jn 2,19 it is. Thank you for the correction of a 
message that was shot off very quickly.
