Their desire was <strong>to faithfully translate<\/strong> the original\nScripture into English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These pronoun expressions had already <strong>dropped out of common English prior to 1611 <\/strong>when the KJB was first\npublished. Folks weren&#8217;t saying &#8220;<strong>thee<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>thou<\/strong>&#8221; back in 1611. They said\n&#8220;<strong>you<\/strong>&#8221; just like we do\ntoday. <strong>See the Geneva, Bishops, &amp;\nTyndale Bibles for example.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>distinction<\/strong> between\nthe singular pronoun (<strong>thou, thee, thy<\/strong>)\nand the plural (<strong>ye, you, your<\/strong>) in\nEnglish began in the<strong> 13<sup>th<\/sup> century\ncontinued <\/strong>into the<strong> 1500\u2019s &amp; then\ndropped off. <\/strong>The<strong>KJB English<\/strong> was <strong>never common\nspeech<\/strong>.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason these PRONOUNS are used is<strong> to enable accurate translation of the Hebrew &amp; Greek. <\/strong>Modern\nEnglish &amp; American Bibles have <strong>lost\nthat distinction<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The KJB English was\nstrictly a <strong>literary style<\/strong> that was\nso pure in form that no other version or style of English could surpass it. I\nbelieve God guided the KJB translators to employ this STYLE of English so as to\nset a <strong>standard of purity<\/strong> &amp; <strong>accuracy<\/strong> for Bible <strong>translations in other languages to follow<\/strong> in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>KJB English is like no other English; it is Biblical\nEnglish. PERIOD!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that we understand the\nnuances regarding KJB pronouns to uncover a deeper understanding of Scripture.\nThe ubiquitous &amp; ambiguous YOU of American English often dilute the\nprecision found only in the KJB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evangelist <strong>Phil Stringer<\/strong>\nin his book \u201cBiblical English\u201d said this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe\nsuperiority of the English expressed in the KJB against all other English\ntranslations builds the case on proof from <strong>English\ngrammar<\/strong>, <strong>etymology<\/strong> and <strong>linguistics.&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1998 Concise Oxford Companion to the English\nLanguage, Tom McArthur, one of the world&#8217;s foremost experts on the English\nlanguage, edited the entire work. He <strong>concluded\n<\/strong>that the English of the KJB <strong>developed\n<\/strong>as its own form of English as BIBLICAL ENGLISH. This raises huge issues for\nthe crowd claiming the KJB is archaic and so forth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The English of the KJB is <strong>not old English<\/strong>. It is <strong>not\nModern English<\/strong>. It is NOT <strong>Elizabetha<\/strong>n\nor <strong>Jacobean<\/strong> English. It is a SIBLING\nof Elizabethan and Jacobean English, sharing only a parental lineage of English\nwhile also <strong>containing a Greek<\/strong> and <strong>Hebrew heritage<\/strong>.\u201d END of QUOTE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, KJB English was used in order to properly translate\nthe Hebrew in the OT and the Greek in the NT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Not archaic pronouns: they are necessary\nto rightly divide the Word of God<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou learn the pronouns of the KJB it will help you tremendously in your\nunderstanding of the Bible. For example all pronouns are categorized in the &nbsp;subject, object, possessive case (SOP) &amp;\ntake into consideration the 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> 3<sup>rd<\/sup> <strong>person.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>1<sup>st person<\/sup>:<\/strong> <strong>SINGULAR<\/strong>: I, Me, My (Mine); <strong>PLURAL<\/strong>: We, Us, Our; <\/li><li><strong>2<sup>nd person <\/sup>: SINGULAR <\/strong>THOU,\nTHEE, THY (THINE) <strong>PLURAL<\/strong> YE, You,\nYOUR&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/li><li><strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup>: SINGULAR <\/strong>He-Him-\nHis SHE\/Her\/Hers; <strong>PLURAL: <\/strong>THEY, THEM,\nTHEIR.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First person<\/strong> is\nreferring to the speaker in the singular (<strong>I,\nME<\/strong>) and would include anybody with the speaker which would be the plural (<strong>WE, US<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second person <\/strong>refers\nto folks being addressed, singular (<strong>THOU,\nTHEE<\/strong>) and in the plural (<strong>YE, YOU<\/strong>).\nYES, <strong>YOU<\/strong> <strong>is a<\/strong> plural in Biblical English!
