sos marks something as belonging or pertaining to the person being addressed, including possessions, people, and stated qualities.

The attested forms consistently mark a possessive relation to the person addressed: what belongs to that person, their people or possessions, or something identified with them, such as a word, name, will, kindness, or consent.

   The forms identify possessions and persons as belonging to the addressed person: in Acts 5:4 the APB renders a question about what remained “yours” and under the listener's authority, while Mark 5:19 speaks of going home to “your own people.” The same possessive relation extends to stated matters connected with the addressee, including “your word” in John 17:17, acts done “in your name” in Matthew 7:22, and “your consent” in Philemon 1:14.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly expresses the possessive relation with “your,” “yours,” or “your own,” as in Acts 5:4, Mark 5:19, and Matthew 25:25. These renderings confirm the clauses' possessive setting rather than assigning every English possessive directly to this term.
