Hebrews 13:3 KJV

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Words Then and Now

  • suffer to allow; to permit (also to undergo) Still heard today: doesn’t suffer fools gladly, won’t put up with foolishness (from 2 Corinthians 11:19) Webster’s 1828 · Suffer

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

Thou and Ye

  • yourselves 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?
