Exegesis
The purpose conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} ‘so that’ introduces the clause hina parōn mē apotomōs chrēsōmai {ἵνα παρὼν μὴ ἀποτόμως χρήσωμαι | hína parṓn mḕ apotó-mōs chrḗ-sō-mai} ‘so that, when present, I might not use harshness’, with the aorist middle subjunctive chrēsōmai {χρήσωμαι | chrḗ-sō-mai} ‘I might use’ plus the negative particle mē {μὴ | mḕ} conveying avoidance.
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:10
For this reason, I am writing these matters in my absence, so that when I am present I may refrain from severe action, according to the authority which the Lord has entrusted to me for edification rather than destruction.
