Exegesis
The purpose clause hina {ἵνα | hína} ‘in order that’ with apogenomenoi {ἀπογενόμενοι | apogenómenoi} ‘having died’ plus the dative separation from sin sets the basis for the subjunctive zēsōmen {ζήσωμεν | zḗsōmen} ‘we might live’.
In context — 1 Peter 2:24
He Himself carried our sins in His body on the tree, so that, having died to sins, we might live to righteousness , by whose wound you were healed.
