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,
