Mammon 1
There are a number of play on words from the ancient Greek word "μαμωνᾶς""mammon" (as used in Matthew 6:24). The Greek word comes from the ancient Hebrew/Aramaic word "ממון" (mamon) ≈ "confidence in one's own abilities, money"

4. Matthew 6:9-13 Lord's Prayer in Matthew
The Lord's prayer is in Matthew 6:9-13. The immediate context includes Matthew 6:7-15.

As with any verses, the context of the Lord's Prayer is important. The general context is in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.

English: Neither pray ye as the hypocrites, but as the Lord commanded in His Gospel, thus pray ye: Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debt, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one; for Thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever. Three times in the day pray ye so.

14. Pray that He not be called a fool
Sermon 2 Altar 7

If we do not do what Jesus wants us to do, we effectively call him a fool and are liable for hell fire.

We should pray: Help us to not call you a fool by not doing what you want us to do.

In effect, we should pray that we should not implicitly call Him "fool" (by not doing what he wants) and that His "name", therefore, be kept holy or "hallowed".

16. Matthew 5:27-28 Overview

Verse route5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [kjv]

Passive Passive

[He's looking at me! Bad jokes.]

This verse is from the man's point of view (e.g., groom, Jesus, God). The next verse requires one to switch to the woman's point of view (e.g., bride, Church, Israel).

Passive adultery can (with high probability) move to active adultery. [making crude comments in a humerus way]. Initiating active adultery (without overt force) involves seduction, deception, entrapment, etc.

Verse route5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [kjv]

Active Active

The previous verse was from the man's point of view (e.g., groom, Jesus, God). This verse requires one to switch to the woman's point of view (e.g., bride, Church, Israel).

One reaction of the woman is to block or reject such advances.

Verse route5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. [kjv]

Divorced Divorced

The KJV (King James Version) translates as "cause" and "causeth" the Greek words that do not mean "cause".

One reaction is to allow or accept such advances. This is fornication. The husband can then divorce or separate from or put away the woman. The man who then marries the woman commits active adultery as does the woman.

Here is a summary build of the progression. The verse structure is as follows.

Matthew 5:27-32: adultery/separation Verse groups:

20. Flow us away from oppression
Sermon 3 Active

A "man" as a "bird" can look at a "woman" or "church" with "desire" and attempt to "seduce" or "entrap" or "oppress" that "woman" or "church".

If we are the "woman" or "church" member, we should pray for help to "flow" us away from that "oppression" or "evil".

Pray: Help us move/flow from being oppressed by others or oppressing others or oppressing ourselves with toils (based on those deceptions).

21. Matthew 6:13 Flow us away from oppression
Compare 3

Pray: Help us move/flow from being oppressed by others or oppressing others or oppressing ourselves with toils (based on those deceptions).

Verse routeτοτε ο ιησους ανηχθη εις την ερημον υπο του πνευματος πειρασθηναι υπο του διαβολου [gnt]


Verse route6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. [kjv]

Verse routeMatthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: [kjv]
Verse route5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: [kjv]

Verse route5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. [kjv]

27. Matthew 5:39 Paraphrase
Verse routeMatthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [kjv]
Verse routeεγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστις σε ραπιζει εις την δεξιαν σιαγονα σου στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην [gnt]

5:39: But I say to you. Do not stand in place of the evil/oppression (get in the way of the adversary). But whoever [bones, enemy, hostile] shall cause thee to strike (rapidly, false start) on your [but a shadow] of a right jawbone (offensive weapon) [the (evil, oppressive) contest, competition] turn from that to the other [(true) contest, competition].

Example: Saul, later Paul, under orders from the religious establishment, sought to strike out (false start) on a (evil) contest or competition, but was directed to turn from that contest or competition to the true contest or competition. Interestingly, this example of Paul will fit the next few verses as a continuation of the analogy or story.

This verse relates to both the "altar" verse back in 5:23-24 and the "agree" with the "adversary" verse back in verses 5:25-26.

Verse routeκαι οστις σε αγγαρευσει μιλιον εν υπαγε μετ αυτου δυο [gnt]
Verse routequicumqueangariaverit mille passuscum illoduo [v]

5:41 paraphrase: Whosoever [enemy, hostile, bones] compels (you) to be a messenger with a message one mile [with an indistinct message, millstone] go away with the message two [of God].

Example: Paul was compelled as a messenger of the religious institution to go one mile (with an indistinct message). Instead, he changed course and went two miles (and more) with a message of God.

Verse routeτω αιτουντι σε δος και τον θελοντα απο σου δανισασθαι μη αποστραφης [gnt]

Here is a bottom-up English written paraphrase from the top-down spoken Greek.

5:32 paraphrase: Do not turn back/away from anyone desiring a loan from you (without repayment) for giving (dedicating) that person to the requesting (of) it (message/messenger of God).

In the top-down (spoken) Greek the later references are clear when spoken. In the bottom-up English, the references are not defined until later so they may need to be moved earlier in the paraphrase. That is, a look-ahead is required.

Verse route5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [kjv]
Verse route5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [kjv]
Verse route5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [kjv]
Verse route5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? [kjv]

Sermon 5
Do those "enemies" expect us to repay their investment in us to do their work when, instead, we did the work of Christ?

Should we expect repayment as debts of what we loaned to them to do the work of Christ?
Pray: Notice the order of the sections and the order in the Lord's Prayer.

33. Matthew 6:12 Forgive our debts and debtors
Compare 5

Pray: Why do many modern translations change "debts" (clearly in the Greek) to "sins" or "trespasses" and then make them against us (not in the Greek).

Verse routedimittedebitadimisimus debitoribus … [v]

The Greek for "forgive" as that of "letting go" where there is the idea of separation. The ancient Greek word "ἀφίημι""send away, let pass".
The Greek for "debts" has to do with an obligation to someone, such as "owing" money. It could be any obligation. Luke uses the word Greek word for "sins" whereas Matthew uses the word for "debts".

Might these "debts" we owe be to "enemies", such as the religious establishment? They may have invested in us to do their missions but, instead, we did what Christ wanted instead. They think we "owe" them.

37. Matthew 6:1-4 The right secret left with alms
Verse routeMatthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. [kjv]

Verse route6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]

Verse route6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: [kjv]

Verse route6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. [kjv]

The TR changed the Greek word for "righteousness" to "alms" to match the following three verses, The last "reward" is not the same Greek word as the "reward" in previous verses.

Doing what is "right" is what is "righteous" and is related to "opinion", "glory" and "law". One must always determine if what is meant is God's "righteousness" or man's "righteousness" (or both).

These verses are a setup for the Lord's Prayer five verses later in Matthew 6:9.

The following ancient Greek words are related. The word appears in the GNT (Greek New Testament) four times and a similar word eleven times in the LXX (Septuagint). The KJV translates this word in the GNT several ways. Sometimes the word used in a literal sense, sometimes in a figurative sense and sometimes both ways at the same time.

Despite the explanation given by Strongs, It is not clear where this meaning originated. The English word "closet" is, through French, from the Latin word "clausum""enclosed space" as in "claustrophobia",

44. Matthew 6:7-8 Vain repetitions of vain repetitions
Blah, blah, blahIn Matthew 6:7, as part of the "Sermon on the Mount", Jesus says not to pray using "vain repetitions" as the "heathen" do.
Verse routeMatthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. [kjv]
Verse routeπροσευχομενοι δε μη βατταλογησητε ωσπερ οι εθνικοι δοκουσιν γαρ οτι εν τη πολυλογια αυτων εισακουσθησονται [gnt]

This is a specific instance of the idea that "if some is good then more is better". Some pastors (and others) boast that as a child (or even now) they repeat the Lord's Prayer every night.

A few verses later is the "Lord's Prayer" which, as an example, does not have repetitions within itself, but could be repeated at different times.

Some pastor appear to think that they get "paid by the word" according to quantity and not quality. At times producing meaningless or even deceptive content, they may lecture their congregations about trying to keep the pastor to any time schedule.

Verse routeμη ουν ομοιωθητε αυτοις οιδεν γαρ ο θεος ο πατηρ υμων ων χρειαν εχετε προ του υμας αιτησαι αυτον [gnt]

Wants and needsWhat you "need" may be different than what you "want". The Greek word can mean either depending on context. The Greek word translated as "need" often has the idea of something that is "useful" as in "use".
Discuss: Provide some examples of "wants" and "needs" and some instances where a "want" is not a "need".

One goal in the field of marketing is to get people to "want" what they might not "need".

The KJV switches the order of "heaven" and "earth". That is, the "as in heaven and (also) on earth" was changed to "on earth as in heaven". Is this difference important?

Should God's will be done on earth? What exactly is God's will for us on earth? Some will claim that God's will is being done today on earth. Look around. Does this appear to be the case?
