Uses of the 3rd Person Pronoun

The various uses of the 3rd person pronoun can be summarized as follows:

1. When in the attributive position, it means "same."

ὁ αὐτὸς λόγος  
  the same word τὴν αὐτὴν ἀγάπην (Ph. 2:2)
the same love
ὁ λόγος ὁ
 
αὐτός

2. When NOT in the attributive position, in the nominative case, it often intensifies.

αὐτὸς ὁ
  αὐτὸς = I myself say (spoken by a
λόγος man)
λέγω
  the word itself
αὐτὸς = you yourself say (spoken
ὁ λόγος λέγεις to a man)
 
αὐτός
3. or without a noun:  αὐτὸς λέγω = I myself say 
4. When NOT in the attributive position, in any of the oblique cases (i.e., any
case other than the nominative case) it is usually being used as a regular 3rd
person pronoun.
