Exegesis
The content clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hóti} ‘that’ contains the nominative subject hoi angeloi autōn {οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτῶν | hoi ángeloi autō̂n} ‘their angels’, linking each child to angelic guardians.
The locative prepositional phrase en ouranois {ἐν οὐρανοῖς | en ouranoîs} places these angels in the heavenly realm, and the idiomatic dia pantos {διὰ παντὸς | dià pantòs} ‘through all (time), always’ emphasizes their perpetual ministry.
The final genitive clause tou en ouranois {τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς | toû en ouranoîs} ‘who is in the heavens’ further specifies the heavenly identity of the Father, framing the guarantee of divine attention.
In context — Matthew 18:10
See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in the heavens always behold the face of My Father who is in the heavens.
