αὐτοῦ (autou) in Colossians 1:20: Genitive Singular Masculine

Pronoun: the word refers to a prior or implied person, thing, or reality rather than naming it directly.

Genitive: the form usually marks a relationship such as source, possession, means, or association, depending on context.

Singular: the form is grammatically singular in this occurrence and points to one referent as the clause requires.

Masculine: the form carries masculine grammatical marking, but that feature by itself does not make a theological or biological claim.

This occurrence of αὐτοῦ is tied to its immediate phrase or clause in Colossians 1:20. Here the pronoun identifies the one through whom the reconciling action is carried out, and the context points to Christ.

The preposition governs the genitive form and presents the referent as part of the means or agency described by the clause.

Direct: The form directly supports through him or by means of him.

The pronoun's referent comes from context; it should not be detached from the Christ-centered passage. The phrase supports agency or means, but the full scope of reconciliation is governed by the whole verse.

Pronoun can be interpreted apart from its antecedent: The form depends on the preceding Christ language; context identifies the referent and limits the claim.

In Colossians 1:20, the genitive singular masculine works inside the immediate phrase or clause. Here the pronoun identifies the one through whom the reconciling action is carried out, and the context points to Christ. The form supports the verse's wording without carrying the whole interpretation by itself.
