Revelation 8:12
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.”
ἵνα
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.
