Exegesis
The purpose clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | hí-na} plus the negative particle me {μὴ | mē} with subjunctives peripate {περιπατῇ | pe-ri-pa-Tē} and bleposin {βλέπωσιν | blé-po-sin} expresses preventive intent: to avoid walking naked and experiencing shame being exposed.
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.
