LORD in the Greek

Lord: 2962

κύριος Kurios (koo’-ree-os);  Noun Masculine, Strong #: 2962

In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures translated in the third century BC, the Greek word, “Kurios”, is used as the Greek equivalent to JEHOVAH 6,156 times of the 6,832 times that JEHOVAH appears in the Old Testament.

In I Corinthians 12:3 there is an emphasis on the fact that Jesus is God. Unsaved men might mouth the words in order to call him Lord as in master, but in order to recognize the deity of Christ and call Jesus the Lord God, this can only be done with the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
