Exegesis
The clause eis to bebaiōsai tas epangelias tōn paterōn {εἰς τὸ βεβαιῶσαι τὰς ἐπαγγελίας τῶν πατέρων | eis tó bebaiôsai tás epangelías tōn patérōn} uses eis plus an articular infinitive to denote purpose or intended result: “in order to confirm the promises.” Here tas epangelias is clarified by the genitive tōn paterōn, marking these as the promises made to the patriarchal ancestors. In translation, the articular infinitive construction is rendered with an explicit purpose phrase (“in order to confirm,” “so that … would be confirmed”), and the genitives are expressed by “of” or “to” phrases, preserving both the purpose nuance and the ancestral focus.
In context — Romans 15:8
For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the sake of the truth of God , in order to confirm the promises to the fathers.
