Part 5: Cepher Version ruins John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:7 KJBβ
π―π
Marvel not that I said unto you, Ye must be born again.
(John 3:7 / YOCHANON 3:7 Cepher)βπ°
Cepher Version:
π₯Prevents readers from realizing Jesus talked to Nicodemus in the first half of John 3:7 by switching "thee" (singular-Nicodemus) to "you" (plural-people]
π₯Does not let readers realize Jesus told Nicodemus/ "thee" ("I said unto thee," refering to singular person) ["thee"] "ye" [plural word for everybody] must be born again.
π₯Changes singular "thee" (KJB) to plural "you", removing Jesus' singular reference to Nicodemus, who Jesus was talking to in John 3:7, 1-18
Why is thou & ye important? Because "thou, thee, and thine" refer to one person/entity.
Meanwhile, "ye, you, your, yours" words refer to two+ people/entities. By keeping "ye" & "thee", the King James Bible helps us know when a sentence's subject & topic are singular or plural
