Here are the lines you are asking about.
Mt 6:10
Γενηθἠτω τὸ θέλημἀ σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς
Be the will of you, as in heaven even on earth
That is a terrible translation, but it is as literal as I can get. Good translations can be ...

It is an awkward way to put a fairly simple fact.
This awkwardness gave rise to textual variations in an attempt to make it easier.
Let's put it in context.
He was teaching one day to pharisees scribes from all the towns of Galilee, Judah and Jerusalem.
(17 last part) And the lord had power for him to heal.

The Greek sentence in Luke 5:17 reads (NA28/UBS5 etc):
καὶ δύναμις Κυρίου ἦν εἰς τὸ ἰᾶσθαι αὐτόν = (literally) and power of

When praying to Avinu (Our Father), consider [Psalm 149] "He does the will of those who fear Him" ( רְצֽוֹן יְרֵאָיו יַֽעֲשֶׂה ), and through those who fear YHVH (like King David), רְצֽוֹנְךָ Retson-kha (Your-Will) is done, as stated in [Psalm 40] "God, I desired to do Your will" (לַֽעֲשׂוֹת רְצֽוֹנְךָ אֱלֹהַי חָפָצְתִּי).

I checked A.T. Robertson, and he said Sharp's rule cannot be applied here. A.T. Robertson's grammar is older than Daniel Wallace. Daniel Wallace's grammar critics older grammars as being too mechanical about applying grammar rules. Normally he would tend to support Robertson's claim. However, Robertson's argument depends on proper names.
In the Kingdom of ...

I am seeking a strictly grammatical answer.
Sharp's rule discriminates between proper and common nouns; as such, given Judaism's belief in only one God, and Christianity's belief in only one Christ, it is unclear to which of the two categories these two words belong. If a class has only one element, is that one element a proper or a common noun ? This is ...
