Berean Strong's Lexicon kurieuó: To have dominion over, to rule, to lord over, to exercise authority. Original Word: κυριεύω Word Origin: From κύριος (kurios), meaning "lord" or "master." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4910 (mashal): To rule, have dominion, reign. - H4428 (melek): King, ruler. Usage: The verb "kurieuó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of exercising authority or having dominion over someone or something. It often implies a sense of control or mastery, whether in a positive or negative context. The term can refer to both legitimate authority, as in the rule of Christ, and illegitimate or oppressive control, as in the dominion of sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of lordship and authority was well understood, as society was structured around hierarchies of power. The term "kurieuó" would have resonated with early Christians who lived under Roman rule, where emperors and local governors exercised significant control over their lives. In a Jewish context, the idea of God as the ultimate ruler was central, and the use of "kurieuó" in the New Testament often reflects the tension between earthly and divine authority.
