Exegesis
The purpose clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | hína} with the negative mē {μὴ | mḗ} and the aorist passive subjunctive lythē {λυθῇ | lythē̂} expresses intended result rather than mere possibility: mē lythē ho nomos Mōyseōs {μὴ λυθῇ ὁ νόμος Μωϋσέως | mḗ lythē̂ ho nómos Mōuséōs}, 'that the law of Moses may not be broken.' In the main clause, the dative pronoun emoi {ἐμοὶ | emoí} is placed first in emoi cholate {ἐμοὶ χολᾶτε | emoí cholâte}, giving prominence to the contrast between what is allowed for the law’s sake and their reaction toward Jesus.

In context — John 7:23
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, are you angry with Me because I made a whole man healthy on the Sabbath?
