Lord

خداوند is the established Urdu Christian Bible term for ‘Lord,’ built on خدا (see ‘god’ entry) plus an honorific suffix, and is distinguishable from Quranic Arabic vocabulary. In Romans 10:9 the confession renders as ‘یسوع خداوند ہے.’ Must convey exclusive, supreme Lordship — never softened to ‘a master/authority’ (آقا), which lacks the divine-title weight required.
