Editing Epiousion (section)

===Necessary for existence===
Another interpretation is to link {{transliteration|grc|epiousion}} to the Greek word {{transliteration|grc|[[ousia]]}} meaning both the verb ''to be'' and the noun ''substance.'' [[Origen]] was the first writer to comment on the unusual word. A native Greek speaker writing a century and half after the Gospels were composed, he did not recognize the word and thought it was an original [[neologism]]. Origen thought "bread necessary for existence" was the most likely meaning, connecting it to the ''to be'' translation of {{transliteration|grc|ousia}}.<ref name="Brown1975"/>

[[George Ricker Berry]] translated the word as simply "necessary" in 1897.<ref>[[George Ricker Berry|Berry, George Ricker]].  The Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek New Testament.  1966 (1897).  Zondervan Publications.  p. 13, 189.</ref>  Philosopher [[Raïssa Maritain]], wife of philosopher [[Jacques Maritain]], writes that during her era of the 1940s this translation was found to be the most acceptable by modern scholars. Her own conclusion was stated as being in agreement with [[Theodore of Mopsuestia]], that being the "bread we need." This was seen as vague enough to cover what was viewed as the three possible etymological meanings:  (1) literal – the "bread of tomorrow or the bread of the present day," (2) analogical – the "bread we need in order to subsist," and (3) spiritual/mystical – the bread "which is above our substance" (i.e., supersubstantial).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www3.nd.edu/~maritain/jmc/etext/notlp05.htm|title=Notes on the Lord's Prayer}}</ref>

[[Joseph Fitzmyer]] translates the verse as "give us this day our bread for subsistence." He connects this to the Aramaic [[targum]] translations of Proverbs 30:8.<ref>{{cite book |last=Fitzmyer |first=Joseph |author-mask=3 |title=The Gospel According to Luke 1-9 |series=[[Anchor Bible Series|Anchor Yale Bible]] |volume=28 |location=New York |publisher=Doubleday |year=1981 |isbn=978-0-3850-0515-9 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/gospelaccordingt28afitz/page/900 900] |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/gospelaccordingt28afitz/page/900 }}</ref>

Like ''daily'', this translation also has the problem that there are well known Greek words that could have been used instead.<ref name="Luz, Ulrich 1992. pg. 381">Luz, Ulrich. ''Matthew 1-7 A Continental Commentary.'' 1992. pg. 381</ref>
