Exegesis
The first hina {ἵνα | hi-na} introduces the content of the refused request, and ares {ἄρῃς | a-rēs} carries a volitional, decisive force: a single act of removal from the world.
Allʼ {ἀλλʼ | al} creates a sharp adversative pivot, so the second hina {ἵνα | hi-na} replaces the denied withdrawal with preservation.
In context — John 17:15
I am not asking that You remove them from the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
