Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Jesus said about forgiveness in 6:12. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should pray in that way because” or “Indeed,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τοῖς ἀνθρώποις
¬the ˱to˲_people
Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “men and women”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν
the transgressions ˱of˲_them
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trespasses, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when they trespass”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ Πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος
the Father ˱of˲_you_all ¬the heavenly
This is a figurative expression. God is not the Father of humans in the same actual way that he is the Father of Jesus. Even so, it would probably be best to translate Father with the same word that your language would naturally use to refer to a human father. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that this means God. Alternate translation: “God your heavenly Father”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
