2.) Ye, You : Always Plural (refers to more than one.)

Note: Modern English has lost this important distinction. Serious

doctrinal error can result from the consequences of changing the plural

"Ye", "You" and the singular "Thee, Thy, Thine" to: "you and your"; as

there would be no way to distinguish if the scriptural promises or

directives are addressed to a given individual or to the people of God.

B.) How important is the poetic beauty and depth of archaic verb

endings :

1.) -est or -st : Used to form the archaic second person singular

(thee, thou.. etc) of English verbs: comest thou to me?

"And he said unto Iesus: Lord remember me when thou comest into thy

kingdom." Luke Chap. 23

2.) -eth or -th : Used to form the archaic third person singular (he,

she, they, it.. etc) present indicative of verbs: leadeth.

"He that goeth in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep. To this

man the porter openeth the door, and the sheep hear his voice, And he

calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out, and when he hath

sent forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow

him: For they know his voice." John x.

"He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that

killeth with a sword, must be killed with a sword. Here is the

patience, and the faith of the saints." Revelation chapter xiij.
