1 Corinthians 9:13 KJV

Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

Words Then and Now

What these words mean in the King James Bible, and where you’ll still hear them today.

Thou and Ye

  • ye more than one
