Exegesis
Each purpose clause with hina mē plus subjunctive (hina mē synkoinonēsēte {ἵνα μὴ συγκοινωνήσητε | hí-na mē syn-koi-no-nḗ-sē-te} ‘so that you may not share’ and hina mē labēte {ἵνα μὴ λάβητε | hí-na mē lá-bē-te} ‘so that you may not receive’) articulates the protective rationale—first to avoid participation in her sins (taîs hamartiais autês {ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς | taîs ha-mar-tí-ais au-tês}) and then to escape her judgments (ek tōn plēgōn autês {ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς | ek tôn plē-gōn au-tês}). The parallel structure intensifies the link between moral separation and deliverance from divine retribution.
In context — Revelation 18:4
Then I heard another voice from heaven say, “Depart from her, My people, so that you do not partake in her sins , and so that you do not receive any of her plagues.”
