April, 

I think your first option is better.  An articular infinitive in the
genitive case often expresses purpose.  See BDF §400(5), or any other
standard grammar you have handy.  For your inference about endurance, you
would have a stronger case if the passage actually mentioned endurance.

Happy studies,
