Exegesis
The subordinating conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces a purpose clause, with ergazometha {ἐργαζώμεθα | er-ga-zô-me-tha} as a present middle subjunctive “that we might work,” indicating ongoing, intentional engagement rather than a single act.
In context — John 6:28
Therefore they said to Him , “What should we do in order that we might work the works of God ?”
