Exegesis
The conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces a purpose clause that lays out a conditional sequence: hina idōmen kai pisteusōmen soi {ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμέν σοι | hína í-dō-men kaí pis-teú-sō-men soi} — “in order that we may see and may believe You.” The aorist subjunctives idōmen and pisteusōmen present seeing and believing as envisioned, contingent responses to the requested sign, coordinated by kai to show they belong together as a single purpose.
In context — John 6:30
Therefore they said to Him , “What sign do You do, so that we may see and believe You? What do You perform?”
