Exegesis
The double genitive phrase tōn hagiōn tōn en Ierousalēm {τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ | tōn hagíon tōn en Ierousalḗm} is appositional: first identifying them as “the saints” (the consecrated community), then narrowing it to those located “in Jerusalem.” This layered genitive construction guides the English rendering “the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem,” which preserves the specification of recipients while smoothing Greek word order into natural English syntax.
In context — Romans 15:26
For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem .
