What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
Lord, master — one who has power or authority over persons or things: a master in relation to slaves or servants, an owner in relation to property, a ruler, or the head of a household 13. The word is also used of a husband in relation to his wife 1, of the emperor 1, and, in the vocative, as a polite title of respect addressed to teachers, officials, or other figures of standing, equivalent to "sir" 134. Strong's and Dodson give the same range: master or a respectful form of address such as sir, from a root meaning supremacy 24.
As a title for deity, the word is used as Lord: of God, often standing for the divine name found in the Old Testament, and used both with and without the article 1; and of Christ, both before and after his resurrection, including in formulas naming him "the Lord Jesus" or "the Lord Jesus Christ" 1. Strong's and Dodson likewise list God and Lord (with a capital) among the word's meanings 24.
