Difference between 'that' and 'so that'
Hi there.
I was wondering whether someone could help answer a question that has been confusing me lately.
What is the difference between 'that' and 'so that'?
An example is as follows:
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light."
For some reason, there is no 'so' before the bolded 'that'.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you
