Notes:
(1) These are most frequently the translations of various inflections of a verb;
sometimes of the article before a nominative used as a vocative, e.g., Rev. 18:20, “ye
saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets” (lit., “the saints, etc.”). When the 2nd person
plural pronouns are used separately from a verb, they are usually one or other of the
forms of
$
, the plural of
$
, “thou,” and are frequently emphatic, especially when
they are subjects of the verb, an emphasis always to be noticed, e.g., Matt. 5:13, 14, 48;
6:9, 19, 20; Mark 6:31, 37; John 15:27a; Rom. 1:6; 1 Cor. 3:17, 23; Gal. 3:28, 29a; Eph.
1:13a; 2:8; 2:11, 13; Phil. 2:18; Col. 3:4, 7a; 4:1; 1 Thess. 1:6; 2:10, 19, 20; 3:8; 2 Thess.
3:13; Jas. 5:8; 1 Pet. 2:9a; 1 John 2:20, 24 (1st and 3rd occurrences), 27a; 4:4; Jude 17,
