Matthew 6 – Step 4: Perplexity Verification Feedback

Your Matthew 6 summary is well-structured and mostly accurate, but there is **one significant textual issue** that needs correction:

## Textual Issue

**In verse 13 of the Prayer section, the doxology “For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.” should be removed.**[4] This phrase does not appear in the WEB (World English Bible) version you specified. The WEB text of Matthew 6:13 ends with “but deliver us from the evil one.” and does not include the doxology. This addition appears in some other translations like the KJV and NKJV, but it is not part of the WEB version and also is absent from earlier Greek manuscripts. Removing it ensures accuracy to your stated version and maintains broader ecumenical acceptance across Christian traditions.

## Assessment of Overall Quality

The summary itself is **excellent and should remain largely as is**. It effectively:

– Maintains accurate theological content acceptable to Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians
– Clearly organizes the chapter’s major themes
– Provides balanced explanations without doctrinal bias
– Emphasizes Jesus’ teaching about sincere motivation over external display, which is the central theme[1]
– Includes the important connection between forgiveness of others and receiving God’s forgiveness[1]

## Recommended Correction

Simply revise verse 13 to conclude with “but deliver us from the evil one.” and remove the doxology line entirely. The rest of your Matthew 6 overview is accurate, well-formatted, and serves as a helpful summary of the passage.
