Mat 6:13 Who is addressed?

[Roy Fredrick]

Mat 6:13 καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
πειρασμός tempting ME: from OFr. tempter 'to test', from L. temptare 'handle, test, try'.

ἐκπειράζω Mat 6:13 And bring in us not to tempting, but flow [draw as a current to oneself] us from the wicked
1Co 10:9; Luk 22:40, Joh 17:15; 2Th 3:3
ενεγκης (inf = ενεγκειν) tote, bear or carry a load, bring, fetch, brought, carry off, give birth
εἰσφέρω bring in, τῖμον Archil.l.c.; ενεγκης (inf = ενεγκειν)
ῥῦσαι flow [as a current of living water] or draw for oneself or to oneself
Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon

[George F Somsel]

It is unwise to read one verse in isolation from its context. Here the context is the entire prayer which Jesus inculcates into his disciples

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·
ἁγιασθήτω …
ἐλθέτω …
γενηθήτω …
καὶ ἄφες …
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς … ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι …

Each petition is addressed to the same subject, Πάτερ ἡμῶν.

Thanks, yes, what it is saying is that God is the flowing Spirit of waters, a current that draws you into His flowing portion of grace, if you follow the commands. The flowing portion, portion of grace, ρεύση

Please note that the citation above is from me, not from David Lim.

First of all, the citation from M&M (of which I also have a copy, thank you) does not support what you are trying to say. Read it carefully – it does not link the imperative ῥῦσαι in the Lord's prayer with the noun ῤύσις that is derived from ῤέω. Secondly, if you have another look at L&S, you'll see that there are actually two entries for ῤύσις , one derived from ἐρύω/ῥύομαι, meaning "rescue" or some such, the other derived from ῤέω.

Now, I think I have to encourage you here as one who has been reading and teaching ancient Greek for many years, and warn you as a moderator (yes, I'm a moderator on this forum, although I haven't been too active in that role of late). You appear to be making mistakes which either a) reflect a theological tendency or b) reflect little actual ability with the Greek or c) a combination of both. I suspect this is mostly b, and I think more study of Greek in general and on how to use lexigraphical resources in particular would benefit you greatly. I also suggest going to the beginners forum and presenting your ideas in the form of questions with an honest desire to learn from those who have studied more.

Mat 6:13 καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
πειρασμός tempting ME: from OFr. tempter 'to test', from L. temptare 'handle, test, try'.

ἐκπειράζω Mat 6:13 And bring in us not to tempting, but flow [draw as a current to oneself] us from the wicked
1Co 10:9; Luk 22:40, Joh 17:15; 2Th 3:3
ενεγκης (inf = ενεγκειν) tote, bear or carry a load, bring, fetch, brought, carry off, give birth
εἰσφέρω bring in, τῖμον Archil.l.c.; ενεγκης (inf = ενεγκειν)
ῥῦσαι flow [as a current of living water] or draw for oneself or to oneself

This simply makes no sense.

Is there a question hidden in this ball of confusion?
