Exegesis
The negated purpose construction ouch hina poio {οὐχ ἵνα ποιῶ | oukh hí-na poi-ô} expresses not merely what does not happen, but the excluded purpose for the descent.
In context — John 6:38
For I have come down from heaven, not so that I might do My own will, but the will of the One who sent Me.
