Exegesis
The purpose clause is marked by hina {ἵνα | hí-na} “in order that” with the subjunctive phainōsin {φαίνωσιν | phai-nô-sin} “they might shine” and the dative autē {αὐτῇ | au-têi} “for it,” indicating advantage.
In context — Revelation 21:23
And the city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine upon it, because the glory of God has bestowed its light upon it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
