your, yours — second person singular possessive pronoun indicating belonging to the addressee

Sos is the possessive adjective corresponding to the second person singular pronoun su ('you'), meaning 'your' or 'yours.' Its 27 NT occurrences appear almost exclusively in direct speech, where one person addresses another about what belongs to them. Jesus uses it in the Sermon on the Mount to challenge self-righteous judgment: 'the log that is in your own eye' (Matt 7:3; Luke 6:42). In parables, the returning master asks servants about 'your talent' (Matt 25:25) and the father tells the elder son 'all that is mine is yours' (Luke 15:31). Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane reaches its climax with 'not my will but yours be done' (Luke 22:42), and his high-priestly prayer declares 'all mine are yours, and yours are mine' (John 17:6, 9-10). Paul uses it in personal appeals: 'your faith' and 'your love' (Phlm 14). The pronoun is intimate and singular — never the polite plural — giving it an immediacy that resonates in every language: Spanish 'tu/tuyo,' French 'ton/tien,' German 'dein.'

Senses

1. your, yours (possessive) — Second person singular possessive ('your, yours'), used in direct speech to mark what belongs to the addressee. Jesus employs it in pointed personal challenges — 'the log in your eye' (Matt 7:3), 'your faith has saved you' — and in moments of profound theological intimacy: 'not my will but yours' (Luke 22:42), 'yours are mine and mine are yours' (John 17:10). In parables it marks possession and responsibility: 'your talent' (Matt 25:25), 'all that is mine is yours' (Luke 15:31). Its singular form creates a tone of direct personal address absent from the plural 'hymon.' 27×
