If you noticed, I kinda used an Old English Word found in the King James Version of the Bible, click on the link to see the meaning, it helps to look up the words because several studies were done to show that the KJV preserves the original meaning in its proper context.
Take for example, the words Ye and Thee, most modern versions simply write you for most if not all instances...
I'm gonna take an excerpt from this book that I got from a brother in Christ.
| The King James Companion |
In almost every language but modern English, people know whether the speaker is addressing one person or many. In Classical English, if the speaker is addressing one person, he uses "thee" or "thou." I he is talking to many people, he says "you" or "your." The King James preserves this. Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Marvel not that I said unto thee (Nicodemus), ye (all of you people) must be born again" (John 3:7). Jesus was telling all people of all time that they must be born again! A very important doctrine that is lost without the "thee" and "thou".
