Exegesis
Finally, the hina clause hina timorethosin {ἵνα τιμωρηθῶσιν | hína timōrēthṓsin} provides a purpose: that they might suffer judicial punishment. The formal reconstruction retains the complex periodic structure and clear participial relationships, while the dynamic breaks the narrative into two sentences and uses everyday expressions to convey the same actions and intent.
