Hello Everyone,

I keep coming across a construction using TO + infinitive, and I am not sure what difference the article makes to the meaning compared to using the infinitive on its own.  Some examples would be:

TO MH hUPERBAINEIN.... (1Thess4:6)
....EIS TO AGAPAN ALLHLOUS (1Thess4:9)
ENDEIGMA THS DIKAIAS KRISEWS TOU QEOU, EIS TO KATAXIWQHNAI.... (2Thess1:5)
EIS TO MH TACEWS SALEUQHNAI.... (2Thess2:2)

Would somebody please be kind enough to explain to me what difference the use of the article makes to the meaning?

Many thanks
Adrian Clark
