The third option is the only right one. You can't use an infinitive after a preposition (for), only a gerund.

I agree with the others. FYI, you may occasionlly see 'FOR TO' instead of just 'TO' but it's archaic, and or dialect, so you shouldn't use it. Ex: from the song 'Whisky in the jar': "I went unto my chamber, all for to take a slumber"
