6-9 Parallel Translation and Blotting Out Gods Name.
The very first petition
of this prayer is solicitous for the honor of God's name. What Does No.1 Mean Top priority belongs to
the things of God and not to the things of men. Man's spiritual well
being, dependent entirely upon his relationship to God, is
infinitely more important, even than daily bread - a point of view which
comes difficult indeed for sinful men. The Third Commandment in the Decalogue
emphasizes this same point, that being negative, this positive enlightenment
on the same truth. Men hallow the name of God when they honor His word, His
church, His doctrine, His Son, His laws, and His name. From - Burton
Coffman under subheading Hallowed
be thy name. Open Burton
Coffman 9.
After this manner pray ye. The Savior does not bid us use these words, nor
command any set form, but gives this as a proper example of prayer, simple,
brief, condensed, yet all-embracing. Our Father which art in heaven.
These words reveal a very tender relationship between God and the true
worshiper, and base the petition on the fact that the child speaks to the
Father. Hallowed be thy name. (HallowBeThyNAME.htm)
Of the seven petitions of the Lord's prayer the first three are in behalf of
the cause of God; the glory of his name, the extension of his kingdom, and
the prevalence of his will. The other four, which are properly placed last,
as least important, pertain to our individual needs. No one can offer the
first three petitions who is in disobedience. Hallowed.
Holy, sacred, reverenced. 6 "But
you, when you pray, go R183 into your inner room, close
your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your R184 Father who sees what is done
in secret will reward you. 7 "And
when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do,
for they suppose that they will be heard for their many R185 words. 8
"So do not be like them; for your R186 Father knows what you need
before you ask Him. 9 "Pray,
R187 then, in this way: `Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 33 "But
seek F116 first His F117 kingdom and His righteousness,

right below 34 "So do not worry R219 about tomorrow; for tomorrow
will care F119 for itself. Each F120 day has enough trouble of its
own.
31 "Do not worry R216
then, saying, `What will we eat?' or `What will we drink?' or `What will we
wear for clothing?' 32 "For the
Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your R217
heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 "But seek F116

about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care F119 for
itself. Each F120 day
has enough trouble of its own. Point about what God provides-- these
things will be added-Necessities Instructions to Those Who Minister 1 All R213 who are under the yoke as
slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that R214 the name of God and our
doctrine will not be spoken F52 against. 2
Those who have believers as their masters must not
be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, R215 but must serve them all the
more, because those who partake F53 of the benefit are believers and
beloved. Teach R216 and preach F54 these principles. 3 If anyone advocates R217
a different doctrine and does not agree F55
with sound R218
words,
those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming R219 to godliness, 4
he is conceited R220 and understands nothing;
but he has F56 a morbid interest in
controversial R221 questions and disputes R222 about words, out of which arise
envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, 5
and constant friction between men R223 of depraved mind and deprived of
the truth, who suppose R224 that godliness F57 is a means of gain. 6
But R225 godliness actually is a
means of great R226 gain when accompanied by contentment. R227 7
For we R228 have brought nothing into the
world, so we cannot take anything out of it either .
8
If we have R229 food and covering, with these we
shall be content .
9
But R230 those who want to get rich fall
into temptation and a R231 snare and many foolish and
harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10
For the R232 love of money is a root of all
sorts F58 of evil, and some by longing for
it have wandered R233 away from the faith and pierced
themselves with many griefs. |

but having food and covering we shall be
therewith content.
Food, clothing and shelter are the three basic
needs of mankind; and all three are included here. "The use of the word
COVERING here seems designed to favor this double application." F14 Whoever, therefore,
has food to eat, clothes to wear and shelter from the elements, with something
left over for the aid of others is RICH! As Gould said, "This is a
rigorous standard," F15 and by it,
there are a great many rich people.

thru 34
6. When thou prayest,
enter into thy closet. Private devotions are meant, nor is
this designed to prohibit prayers in public assemblies. The Lord himself both
prayed "in the mountain alone," in the night alone, and in public in
the presence of his disciples. We have records of many prayers offered by the
apostles in public assemblies. "Thy closet" may mean any secret
place. Peter's closet was on the house-top; the Savior's on a mountain alone.
7. Use not vain repetitions as the heathen do. What is
forbidden is not much praying, nor praying in the same words (the
Lord did both), but making the number of prayers, length of prayers, or time
spent in praying, a point of observance and of merit. 1 Kings 18:26 gives an example of the
repetitions of the heathen. Mahometans and Catholics still hold that
there is merit in repeating certain prayers a set number of times.
8. For your Father knoweth. Here is given abundant reason
for short prayers. Many prayers apparently aim to give God information on
matters connected with this world.
9. After this manner pray ye. The Savior does not bid us
use these words, nor command any set form, but gives this as a proper example
of prayer, simple, brief, condensed, yet all-embracing. Our
Father which art in heaven. These words reveal a very tender
relationship between God and the true worshiper, and base the petition on the
fact that the child speaks to the Father. Hallowed be thy name. Of the
seven petitions of the Lord's prayer the first three
are in behalf of the cause of God; the glory of his name, the extension of his
kingdom, and the prevalence of his will. The other four, which are properly
placed last, as least important, pertain to our individual needs. No one can
offer the first three petitions who is in
disobedience. Hallowed. Holy,
sacred, reverenced.
10. Thy kingdom come. The Messiah's kingdom had not yet
come, but was proclaimed by the Lord as at hand. It did speedily come, but in
its fulness, and in its final triumph over evil, it has not yet come. For this
coming we may now pray, and the prayer is answered in part by each success of
the gospel. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. None can pray
thus who have not merged their own wills into the divine will. He, in effect,
prays the prayer of
11. Give us this day our daily bread. We are bidden to ask
for our bread, not for future years, but for "this day."
12. Forgive us our debts, as we forgive,
etc. Debts mean moral obligations unfulfilled--our shortcomings, our
sins. Let it be noted with emphasis that God is asked to forgive us as
we forgive others. We ask, in other words, that he may mete out to us what we
measure to others.
13. Lead us not into temptation. The thought is that God
may preserve us from temptations that might lead us astray. No man can pray these words who does not try to keep out of temptation. For
thine is the kingdom. This clause, called the doxology, is wanting in the
oldest and best manuscripts, and is undoubtedly an addition by men.
14, 15.
For if ye forgive men . . . your heavenly Father will forgive you. Our Lord
makes it a condition of our obtaining forgiveness, that we shall have a
merciful, forgiving spirit.
16, 17, 18. When thou fastest.
This is the third example of the right and wrong way of righteousness, in
contrast. The same principle of doing nothing for mere show is still insisted
upon. Fasting is not wrong, and, indeed, is often blessed richly, but not when
our object is to appear to men to fast. Of sad
countenance. It was common to assume a woe-begone
look, put ashes upon the head, and even wear sackcloth, in order to show to the
world deep humiliation. This is condemned. Anoint thine
head. That is, dress as usual. Wash thy face. The
usual practice before eating. Thy Father . . .
shall reward thee. Our self-denial must be for the eyes of God, not of men.
19. Lay not up treasures on the earth. This forbids, not
the laying up of treasures, but laying them up on the earth; that is, the
piling up of worldly wealth for worldly purposes. Riches are no sin in
themselves, but the improper use of riches is a sin. Where
moth and rust corrupt. Unused garments often become moth-eaten;
unused coin sometimes rust. All earth treasure will
finally perish. Thieves break through. Literally, "dig
through." Often robbers in the East dig through the house walls of mud or
unburnt brick.
20. Lay up . . . treasures in heaven. This is the only way
to save our wealth. It is a positive precept. Our wealth must be consecrated to
God and used as his work demands. Wealth used for doing good
is treasure laid up in heaven.
21. For. This introduces a reason for the preceding
precepts. Where thy treasure is will be thy heart. This states a
universal truth. A man's heart will be upon what he treasures most. If his
treasure is in heaven, heaven will have his heart.
22, 23.
The light of the body is the eye. This is not an abrupt transition, but
bears on the same subject. If one's eye is diseased, all he sees is wrong. So
the mind, or conscience, is the light of the soul. If these be darkened, all is
darkness; if these see aright, all is light.
24. No man can serve two masters. He cannot give his heart
to two services at the same time. He cannot follow two callings successfully. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon. This is the direct application. The Chaldee
word "Mammon" means money or riches. It is here personified as an
idol. "Mammon" originally meant "trust," or confidence, and
riches is the trust of worldly men. If God be not the object of supreme trust,
something else will be, and it is most likely to be money.
25. Take no thought for your life. At the time the Common
Version was made, the expression "Take thought," meant to be anxious.
The Revision properly renders it, "Be not anxious." The Greek word
means, "to have the mind distracted." Christ
does not forbid prudent forethought. Is not the life more than food? The
argument is: God gave the life, and it is higher than food. If he gave it, he
will see that it is sustained, if you trust in him. So, too, he made the body.
He will see that it is clothed.
26. Behold the fowls of the air. God feeds the birds
without their sowing or reaping, but they do the work for which they were
created, and God takes care of them. So, too, he will take care of us--not in
idleness or improvidence--but if we do the work for which God created us.
27. Which of you can add one cubit, etc.
There can hardly be a doubt that this ought to be rendered, "add one cubit
to his age," or period of life. The idea is: "What is the use of
anxiety? Who, by his anxiety, can add anything to life's journey"? If it
is proper to speak of "length of life," it is also appropriate
to speaking of adding a cubit to its length.
28. Consider the lilies. While the lilies do not toil or
spin, they do their work, draw up sustenance from the earth, and drink in the
dew, rain and sunbeams. So we are to do our appointed work. It we do this,
trusting in God, he will supply all our needs.
29. Even Solomon in all his glory. To the Jew the court of
Solomon was the highest representation of human glory. The magnificence of the
court is not only celebrated in Jewish writings, but in all Oriental
literature, and it is still proverbial throughout the East. Yet he was never
arrayed with the taste and beauty of one of these. It is probable that
both birds and lilies were in sight from where the Lord was sitting.
30. If God so clothe the grass of the field. Wild flowers
belong to the herbage that is cut with the grass. In
31. Therefore take no thought. Have no anxiety over the
question of food and raiment. Do your duty, with a full trust in God that he
will see that you do not lack for these things.
32. For after all these things do the Gentiles seek. This worldliness, anxiety, and distrust, might do
in heathen, who have no knowledge of a heavenly Father, but you have a heavenly
Father, and he knows that ye need all these things.
33. Seek ye first the
34. Take, therefore, no thought for the morrow. Again, it
should read, as in the Revision, "Have no anxiety about to-morrow." The
morrow will take thought for itself. Not "take care of itself," but bring its own cares, anxieties and
troubles. We should not foolishly increase our present burden by borrowing
trouble about to-morrow.
