Exegesis
The hina-clause hina poieso {ἵνα ποιήσω | hína poiḗsō} ‘in order that I may do’ expresses the purpose for which the work was given. English rendering therefore compresses the participial and purpose structures into fluent phrases such as ‘by bringing ... to completion’ or ‘by finishing ...’ while preserving the close link between glory, obedience, and fulfilled commission.
In context — John 17:4
I have glorified You on the earth by bringing the work You gave Me to completion.
