>There is another case of hINA with the present indicative (FUSIOUSQE) by
>Paul in 1 Corinthians 4:6 (interestingly enough, another omicron contract),
>which seems to be a clear example of a purpose clause (cf. also GINWSKOMEN
>in Aleph A B* L P 049. 33. 81. 614 al of 1 John 5:20). Paul's purpose in
>saying what he did about himself and Apollos was "so that none of you will
>be puffed up in favor of one against another" (NRSV). It seems to be more
>coherent in the context of Gal 4:17 to take hINA ZHLOUTE in the same way,
>i.e., as a purpose clause. The sense would be that the teachers troubling
>the Galatians were zealous to win them over, but with the improper purpose
>(cf. v. 18) of having the Galatians be zealous for them, i.e., follow them
>and submit to their teachings. This is consistent with other statements of
>Paul in the letter as to the motivating factors underlying the false
>teachers' efforts. He ascribes the motive of selfish pride to their work
>when he says of them in 6:12, "Those who want to make a good impression
>outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised" (NIV) and in 6:13
>where he claims "they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast
>about your flesh" (NRSV). So, according to Paul, the purpose of the false
>teachers was not to build up the Galatians spiritually, but to build up
>their own reputations by winning over the Galatians as trophies to their
>teaching efforts and doctrine. Their purpose was to gain a following (hINA
>AUTOUS ZHLOUTE) with the purpose of building up their own prestige.

The old Grimm-Wilke and the (old) revision by Thayer (unabridged) applies
this to both 1 Cor. 4:6 and Gal. 4:17. I don't think that the omicron
contract makes any difference. You can also find this situation in variant
readings at Jn 5:20 (good evidence for), Gal 6:12; Tit. 2:4; Rev. 12:6;
13:17. Zerwick/Smith and E.D. Burton both see these as solecisms that
should be treated as subjunctives. However, I do not think that is
necessary since there is a history of the adverbial use back to Homer.
