kurios

Whereas the Greek word "kurios" had a range of meanings, from a title of respect, to a title of leadership, to a name for the sacred, the English translation "Lord" refers specifically to a male European land baron.

Jesus is often called kurios in Paul's writings, especially I Corinthians.

The word kurios must be taken in its specific, Christian sense, as applicable to Christ; an interpretation confirmed by what follows, viz.: he taught diligently the things of the Lord, which cannot refer to the doctrine of God, but to the proclamation of Jesus as Messiah.

The word kurios is indeed used in Scripture in the sense of master, and as a mere honorary title as in English Master or Sir.

I would also say that kurios is equivalent of the divine name as it's embedded to the OT quotation about God's creation action.

My thesis is that the double application of biblical names of God theos and kurios to Jesus demands that Jesus is something similar like divine powers in Philo's thinking who are inferior to transcendent God.

One of the most prominent phenomenon is the fact that Philo transfers God's biblical names kurios and theos to the powers that are subcategories of the Logos concept.

However when Philo applies theos and kurios to the powers he is not doing any reservations with articles and he is not referring to specific examples but to normal occurences of theos and kurios with article.

As such verse 8 could be understood without any divine implications but within string of quotations wherein Jesus is also identified as creator Lord it seems that it's the divine or biblical nature of theos and kurios nomenclatures that is at play.
