of the Supreme Master
| Root | κύριος (kyrios) |
| Core Meanings | supreme authority, master, lord, owner, sovereign, controller |
| Semantic Range | lord, master, owner, ruler, sovereign, one in authority; used for human masters, respected leaders, and as the divine title for God or the Messiah |
| Conceptual Significance | κύριος functions as a title of authority and covenantal sovereignty. In the Septuagint and New Testament it renders the Divine Name (YHWH) and becomes the central confession of Jesus’ exalted status, expressing both royal authority and divine identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,). The genitive case expresses possession, source, relationship, or association; masculine singular agrees with the lexical form κύριος. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of κύριος as one possessing supreme authority or mastery. The genitive masculine singular form (GMS) is reflected by the phrase "of the," indicating possession or source, while "Supreme Master" conveys the authority inherent in the root meaning. |
