In reply to Gary Spatol. In the Old Testament, the spelling LORD (capital and small caps) is always the translation of YHWH. I guess it's a question of theological interpretation as to whether YHWH ever refers to the Trinity.

‘You are not saying that “LORD” (NLT) in the OT never refers to the Trinity are you??

In reply to Rachel Hendrix. In the epistles, the term "Lord" (upper- and lowercase) generally refers to God the Father. So in 2 Cor. 12:8, Paul had been praying to God the Father. Mark Taylor

In reply to Gloria Owoyele. When the NLT uses LORD in the Old Testament, it always means God the Father (YHWH). The NLT uses LORD in the New Testament only where the NT makes a direct quote of an Old Testament passage, and in those instances it always refers to God the Father. But in the NT, the term “Lord” (upper- and lowercase letters) refers sometimes to God the Father and sometimes to Jesus. The context will make it clear. Mark Taylor

In reply to Rachel Hendrix. I believe it is both. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are 2 in 1. We sometimes find this to be difficult to grasp as humans. It is a mystery we will understand some day(in heaven)

Thank you for this word study. I want to question if we can always assume the NT Lord to be Jesus and not God the Father. In particular, I notice in 2 Corinthians 12:8 Paul prays to (begs) the Lord. Is he clearly praying to Jesus or could it be God the Father?

Does it not mean that when the title is used I need to step back and respect the person who bears the title. I need to take note of who I am in respect to the person spoken about?

Wow , beautiful teaching and well understood thank you all for taking out time to expansiate on this word. Which means when they're referring to God it's used as LORD and for Jesus as Lord, right? More grace in Jesus name.
