Colossians 3:18 KJV

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Thou and Ye

  • yourselves, your 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?

Matthew Henry
