1 Thessalonians 5:10

“Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.”
μέ

ἵνα
so that

That, in order that, so that. Hina. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son in order that whoever believes in Him should not perish. The purpose of the cross is clear.
