of the master
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) — indicating possession, source, or relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form Κυρίου denotes possession or association, thus "of the master," reflecting one who holds authority or ownership. This preserves the root sense of power and recognized authority inherent in κύριος. |
