George Leo Haydock, on Luke 1:73

“The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,”

“According to the oath which he swore. [11] The words according to, are no addition to the letter of the text: they only barely express what is here signified; to wit, that God swore to Abraham, that he would grant us, or make it come to pass, that being delivered from our enemies, sin and the devil, we should be in a condition to serve him without fear, in holiness, &c. (Witham)”
