Mat 18:14 | RWP | e4.org | The will of your Father ( θελημα εμπροσθεν ). Observe that Westcott and Hort read μου here rather than υμων after B Sahidic Coptic. Either makes good sense, though "your" carries on the picture of God's care for "each one of these little ones" ( εν των μικρων τουτων ) among God's children. The use of εμπροσθεν with θελημα is a Hebraism like εμπροσθεν σου in with ευδοκια , "before the face" of God.

‏ Matthew 18:14

The will of your Father ( θελημα εμπροσθεν ). Observe that Westcott and Hort read μου here rather than υμων after B Sahidic Coptic. Either makes good sense, though "your" carries on the picture of God's care for "each one of these little ones" ( εν των μικρων τουτων ) among God's children. The use of εμπροσθεν with θελημα is a Hebraism like εμπροσθεν σου in 11:25 with ευδοκια, "before the face" of God.
