Concise Bible Dictionary
:
1.
adon
,
κύριος
. These words are commonly translated “lord.” They are used as a term of respect as between
man
and man, as seen in the
children
of
Heth
to
Abraham
(
Gen. 23:6
6
Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. (Genesis 23:6)
); between servants and masters, and once by a wife to her
husband
(
Gen. 18:12
12
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? (Genesis 18:12)
;
Luke 16:3,5
3
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. (Luke 16:3)
5
So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? (Luke 16:5)
;
1 Pet. 3:6
6
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. (1 Peter 3:6)
). The title “Lord” is applied to
God
(
Psalm 90:1
1
<<A Prayer of Moses the man of God.>> Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. (Psalm 90:1)
,
Adonai
), and in the
New
Testament
to
the Lord
Jesus
, not only as a term of respect, but as owning His constituted lordship (
Acts 2:36
36
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36)
;
Phil. 2:11
11
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:11)
). He is emphatically
the Lord
as eclipsing every other for the
Christian
, who delights to appropriate Him as “My Lord” (
Luke 1:43
43
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 1:43)
;
John 20:13
13
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. (John 20:13)
; Phi. 3:8). To believers collectively He is “Our Lord Jesus Christ.”
There is also in this title the idea of administration which it is of great consequence to observe. As Man the Lord Jesus is
mediator
between God and men, and receives blessings for men which are administered through Him as Lord. “To us there is....one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and
we
through Him” (
1 Cor. 8:6
6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (1 Corinthians 8:6)
). See

1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Romans 5:1‑2)
11
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. (Romans 5:11)
17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) (Romans 5:17)
21
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5:21)
and other scriptures.
The same
Greek
word is often used in the LXX for the
Hebrew
name
Jehovah
, and is transferred to the New Testament without the article. It stands as a proper name in the sense of Jehovah, as in
Matthew 1:20,22,24
20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:20)

24
