Exegesis
The content clause hoti kyriou estin {ὅτι κυρίου ἐστίν | hó-ti ky-ri-óu es-tín} indicates possession and authority, with the genitive kyriou expressing source and the verb estin functioning with a neuter plural subject. Paul’s syntactic structure thus binds claims of spiritual status to the necessity of recognizing his apostolic writings as divinely authoritative.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:37
If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, he must acknowledge that the things which I write to you are of the Lord .
