Exegesis
The dative phrase tois hagiois {τοῖς ἁγίοις | toîs hágiois} marks the beneficiaries or evaluators of this acceptance, the saints, who are the intended recipients of the Jerusalem service. Syntactically, the verse balances two concerns—personal protection and communal reception—within a single purpose framework, and the English renderings mirror this by maintaining the hina-purpose with two coordinated clauses.
In context — Romans 15:31
In order that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may become acceptable to the saints .
