Strong's Lexicon autou: his, its, of him, of it Original Word: αὐτοῦ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word αὐτός (autos), meaning "self" or "same." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is the pronoun "לוֹ" (lo), meaning "his" or "to him," as seen in passages like Genesis 15:6. Usage: The Greek pronoun "αὐτοῦ" is a genitive singular form of "αὐτός," used to denote possession or association. It is commonly translated as "his" or "its" in English. This pronoun is used to indicate ownership, belonging, or a relationship to a previously mentioned noun or subject. In the New Testament, it frequently refers to God, Jesus Christ, or other individuals, emphasizing their possession or association with something. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, the use of pronouns like "αὐτοῦ" reflects the Greek language's precision in indicating relationships and possession. The genitive case, which "αὐτοῦ" represents, was a critical grammatical tool in Koine Greek, the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean during the time of the New Testament. Understanding these pronouns helps in grasping the nuances of the text, especially in theological discussions about the nature and work of Christ and His relationship with the Father and believers.
