Exegesis
The coordination by kai {καὶ | kaí} in the hina clause ties the internal condition (nakedness) to the external consequence (public shame). The translation renders the participles as active dispositions and maintains the hina clause with “so that” and modal auxiliaries to capture the subjunctive nuance.
Root and etymology
dikēdelta–iota–kappa–eta
“right, justice, legal custom”
In context — Revelation 16:15
Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains watchful and keeps his garments, so that he may not walk around unclothed and his shame is revealed.
