Non ut ipse sanctior sit, sed ut in nobis operetur augmentum suæ sanctificationis: nam sanctificatio filiorum nomini ejus attribuitur.

6:9 Pray like this: In contrast to the vain repetition of pagan prayers (6:7-8), “the Lord’s Prayer” is a model of simplicity.
• Jews rarely addressed God as Father, but Jesus did so in every prayer but one (Mark 15:34).
• may your name be kept holy: God’s name is profaned by the sin of his people (Isa 29:22-24; Jer 34:15-16; Ezek 39:7; Amos 2:7).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὖν
therefore
Here, the word Therefore introduces the conclusion to what Jesus has said about prayer in 6:5–8. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word that introduces a conclusion, or you could leave Therefore untranslated. Alternate translation: [So then] or [In the end]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Πάτερ ἡμῶν
Father ˱of˲_us
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, who is our Father]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῶν
˱of˲_us
By Our, Jesus means himself and his disciples, so use the inclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς
the_‹one› in the heavens
Here, the phrase in the heavens identifies the location in which God the Father is specially present and from which he rules. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [who is in the heavens]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου
/let_be/_sanctified the name ˱of˲_you
If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [we want your name to be made holy] or [we pray that your name is made holy]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου
/let_be/_sanctified the name ˱of˲_you
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [let people treat your name as holy] or [let people regard your name as holy]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ ὄνομά σου
the name ˱of˲_you
Here, the word name refers primarily to the person who has that name, and it focuses especially on who that person is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [you yourself] or [who you are]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
σου
˱of˲_you
Since Jesus is praying to God the Father, the word your here is singular.
