Exegesis
The conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces a purpose clause, with the negative particle mē {μὴ | mḗ} and the aorist subjunctive elthēte {ἔλθητε | él-thē-te}, yielding the sense “so that you might not enter into peirasmon {πειρασμόν | pei-ras-món} ‘temptation’.”
In context — Mark 14:38
Be watchful and pray so that you might not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing , but the flesh is weak .
