Exegesis
The purpose clause hina elthē pros hymas {ἵνα ἔλθῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς | hína élthē pròs hymâs} uses the aorist subjunctive elthē to present the visit as a potential action.
The conjunction kai pantōs ouk ên thelēma hina nyn elthē {καὶ πάντως οὐκ ἦν θέλημα ἵνα νῦν ἔλθῃ | kaì pántōs ouk ên thélēma hína nûn élthē} uses pantōs to strengthen the negation and hina to specify the timing “now.”
In context — 1 Corinthians 16:12
Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was by no means his will that he should come now; he will, however, come when he has the opportunity .
