2 Corinthians 12:15 KJV

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

Thou and Ye

  • you more than one

In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?
