"No vuelvas a pecar, no sea que te ocurra algo peor." While I understand the jest of this sentence, I cannot grasp the translation of “no sea que”. I would appreciate any help I can get on this one. Thanks. Jim

It translates to something like "lest" or "so that not" - Do not sin again, lest something worse happen to you.

Sea is the subjunctive form of ser Conjugate ser but I believe the phrase 'no sea que' is translated as 'lest'
