Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
All Commentaries on Matthew 6:10 Go To Matthew 6
John Chrysostom
AD 407
See how excellently this follows; having taught us to desire heavenly things by that which He said, “Thy kingdom come,” before we come to Heaven He bids usmake this earth into Heaven, in that saying, “Thy will be done as in heaven, so in earth.”.
These words, “As in heaven so in earth,” must be taken as common to all three preceding petitions. Observe also how carefully it is worded; He said not, Father, hallow Thy name in us, Let Thy kingdom come on us, Do Thy will in us. Nor again; Let us hallow Thy name, Let us enter into Thy kingdom, Let us do Thywill; that it should not seem to be either God’s doing only, or man’s doing only. But He used a middle form of speech, and the impersonal verb; for as man can do nothing good without God’s aid, so neither does God work good in man unless man wills it.
