Exegesis
In the direct quotation tou kyriou to thelema ginestho {Τοῦ κυρίου τὸ θέλημα γινέσθω | Toû ky-rí-ou tò thé-le-ma gi-nés-thō}, the genitive tou kyriou modifies thelema as a possessive genitive, and the present imperative ginestho expresses an open-ended wish for the Lord’s will. The translation renders the participial condition as a temporal clause and adapts the imperative into idiomatic English optative forms to preserve submission.
In context — Acts 21:14
Since he was not persuaded , we became quiet and said, “Let the will of the Lord take place.”
