Matius 5:25

5:25 Reach agreement ¹  quickly with your accuser while on the way to court, ²  or he ³  may hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the warden, and you will be thrown into prison.

Matius 5:45

5:45 so that you may be like ⁴  your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Matius 6:6

6:6 But whenever you pray, go into your room, ⁵  close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. ⁶ 

[5:25]  ¹ tn Grk “Make friends.”

[5:25]  ² tn The words “to court” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[5:25]  ³ tn Grk “the accuser.”

[5:45]  ⁴ tn Grk “be sons of your Father in heaven.” Here, however, the focus is not on attaining a relationship (becoming a child of God) but rather on being the kind of person who shares the characteristics of God himself (a frequent meaning of the Semitic idiom “son of”). See L&N 58.26.

[6:6]  ⁵ sn The term translated room refers to the inner room of a house, normally without any windows opening outside, the most private location possible (BDAG 988 s.v. ταμεῖον 2).

[6:6]  ⁶ tc See the tc note on “will reward you” in 6:4: The problem is the same and the ms support differs only slightly.
