Berean Strong's Lexicon su: you Original Word: σύ Word Origin: A primary pronoun of the second person singular Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is אַתָּה (attah), Strong's Hebrew 859, which also means "you" in the singular form. Usage: The Greek pronoun "σύ" (su) is used to address a single individual directly, equivalent to the English "you." It is employed in both nominative and vocative cases, often emphasizing the person being spoken to. In the New Testament, "su" is used in various contexts, from direct speech by Jesus to His disciples, to personal addresses in epistles. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, pronouns like "su" were essential for direct communication, especially in oral traditions and teachings. The use of "su" in the New Testament reflects the personal and relational nature of the biblical texts, where God and His messengers often address individuals directly, emphasizing personal responsibility and relationship.
