Mt 6:4

so that your merciful deeds may be ~~in secret~~ “in the background,”^[a] ~~then~~ and your Father who sees ~~in secret~~ (everything that happens) “in the background”^[b] will reward you openly.

———

^a Gk. ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ, in the secret (thing) (contra ἐν τῇ κρύπτῃ, in the crypt or cellar). Usually translated in secret or in private; however, one would then expect ἐν κρυπτῷ. Outside Mt. 6:4, 6, and 18, the expression ἐν τῷ κρυπτοῷ is only found in Rom. 2:29 in ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ Ἰουδαῖος, translated inwardly a Jew (opposite ὁ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ Ἰουδαῖός in Rom. 2:28, translated outwardly a Jew). Likewise, in Mt. 6 the meaning seems more likely not to be to make an effort to hide something; but perhaps rather to not overtly show it, i.e., covertly; idiomatically equivalent to: behind the scenes; behind closed doors; out of sight; out of view; out of the public eye; in the background. Even in 6:3, the instruction to not let know can be construed as not to conceal what the right hand is doing from the left hand, but to not announce it or make a show of it to the left hand.

^b Gk. ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ, your father who sees in the secret (thing). See also Gk. Dn. 13:42 [Susanna 1:42]: ὁ θεὸς ὁ αἰώνιος ὁ τῶν κρυπτῶν γνώστης, the eternal God who knows the secrets (referring to schemes of men against Susanna and the truth behind their false testimony).

———

^a πηχυν is the Koine word translated "cubit" hundreds of times in the LXX and two of the four instances in the NT, referring specifically to the linear unit of measuring length used bu a builder or architect. Although it is rather clear The Lord is talking about extending the length of our lives, He specifically applies this unit of measure πηχυν, suggesting that WE are not the Builder/ Architect of our lives hence the literal translation is for transparency for the non-Greek reader to demonstrate what wordsThe Lord actually said here.
