<A commentary I am reading states that the subjunctive of DIKAIWQWMEN
is "forced" due to the use of the hINA. Further, this author goes on to
argue that there is no element of uncertainty or doubt here, and suggests
the translation:
"in order that WE WOULD BE justified by faith">
I think that Wallace's comments are helpful on this:
"We must not suppose that this use of the subjunctive [with hINA
expressing purpose] necessarily implies any doubt about the fulfillment
of the verbal action on the part of the speaker. This may or may not be
so; each case must be judged on its own merits. The subjunctive is used,
however, because it answers the implicit deliberative question"
(GGBB, 472).
