Jonathan:

Welcome to B-Greek, and I certainly appreciate your
enthusiasm regarding Greek. 

You asked.....

Then genitives here do not strike me as emphatic or
unusual. DIA takes the genitive to denote agency or
means. It is quite common for the article (TOU) to
come before a noun (KURIOU) that is followed by a
pronoun (hHMWN). I really don't think "OUR Lord" means
"not some other Lord." All in all, nothing really
strikes me as emphatic as far as the grammar goes.

Best of luck with your studies.
