Please Help me with Inductive Bible study

Tes

I am trying to study the book of Rome inductively. 1. I am facing difficulties
to arrange the sequence as well as the structure, as the same time 2.,I have a
problem as well, to determine the tense for eg. In verse 6 ‘’in order’’ and
then ‘’so that’’. It would be good even if there is a means of searching result
and purpose from the original, if there is how`?

I would be very grateful, if someone takes time and lays a foundation for
me, to arrange it ,so that I am  able to
study  the Roman epistle .

Tes,

One of the challenges is that determining whether something indicates "purpose" or "result" can be tricky, and sometimes it is possible for a caluse to indicate both purpose and result. Normally "in order" indicates purpose and "so that" indicates result, though this isn't a hard and fast rule. But you're asking about getting answers from Greek. There is a resource that gives this type of information and labels it clearly. It is "The Lexham Clausal Outlines of the Greek New Testament." Information can be found here: http://www.logos.com/logos3/new/clausaloutlines. However, I can't find it for sale and don't know when I acquired it. Perhaps someone else can help answer that question. The resource assumes you know Greek, but you can use a Reverse Interlinear to help you as in the screen shot below. You can either find occurrences of "in order" or "so that" and then check to see how they are labeled, or you can just scan the left hand column and look for "pur" (which stands for purpose) and "result." But remember, these labels are interpretations!
