Exegesis
The purpose clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | hína} 'in order that' and the negative particle mē {μὴ | mḕ} 'not', together with the temporal protasis hotan elthō {ὅταν ἔλθω | hótan élthō} 'whenever I come', stipulates Paul’s aim to prevent future collections, with the subjunctive ginōntai {γίνωνται | gínōntai} 'may occur' marking the event to be averted. English renderings preserve this progression from scheduled preparation to the avoidance of on-site fundraising.
In context — 1 Corinthians 16:2
On the first day of each week, each of you should set aside something for yourself in private, storing up whatever he may prosper, so that when I come there will be no collections .
