It should certainly not be supposed that subjunctive clauses with hINA are
always purpose clauses; almost as often they are NOT purpose clauses but
simple substantive clauses--noun clauses, and that is the case with this
one: the hINA clause functions as a substantive in apposition to TOUTWi,
indicating precisely what fact it is wherein the Father has gotten
glorified.
