Exegesis
The conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces a purpose clause, with the negative particle me {μὴ | mḕ} and the aorist subjunctive eiselthete {εἰσέλθητε | ei-sél-thē-te} expressing the intended prevention: that they should not ‘enter into’ peirasmon {πειρασμόν | pei-ras-món} understood as a time of testing or temptation. The English translation preserves this structure by maintaining the question, the pair of urgent imperatives, and an explicit purpose clause (“so that you may not enter into temptation”), thereby reflecting the flow from rebuke to command to desired outcome.
In context — Luke 22:46
And He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation .”
