Εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς, Ὅταν προσεύχησθε, λέγετε, Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου. Ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου. Γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

The verb ἁγιασθήτω is the third person singular aorist passive imperative of ἁγιάζω (“to sanctify,” “to make holy”). It does not mean “keep holy,” which would imply the preservation of a pre-existing state. Rather, the aorist passive imperative form expresses a petition that sanctification be brought about, not maintained. Thus, in the phrase ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου (“Hallowed be Thy name,” Matt. 6:9), the prayer is not asserting that God’s name is already sanctified/holy and ought to remain so, but rather that it come to be holy.
