Strong's Lexicon su: you Original Word: σύ Part of Speech: Personal Pronoun Transliteration: su Pronunciation: soo Phonetic Spelling: (soo) Definition: you. Meaning: You (singular); used to address an individual directly. Word Origin: A primary pronoun of the second person singular. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H859 אַתָּה (attah): A Hebrew pronoun meaning "you" (singular), used similarly in the Old Testament to address individuals directly. • H859 אַתְּ (at): A feminine form of the Hebrew pronoun for "you" (singular), used in addressing a female directly. These Hebrew entries correspond to the Greek "σύ" in their function as second-person singular pronouns, highlighting the continuity of personal address across the biblical texts. Usage: The pronoun "σύ" is used throughout the New Testament to address a single person directly. It is the singular form of "you," distinguishing it from the plural form "ὑμεῖς" (hymeis). Context: The Greek pronoun "σύ" is a fundamental component of the New Testament, appearing frequently in direct discourse. It is used by Jesus, the apostles, and other figures to address individuals personally, emphasizing a direct and personal communication. This pronoun is essential in understanding the relational and personal nature of many New Testament teachings and interactions. In the Gospels, "σύ" is often used by Jesus when speaking to individuals, highlighting His personal engagement with those He taught and healed. For example, in Matthew 16:18, Jesus says to Peter, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church." Here, "σύ" underscores the direct and personal nature of Jesus' declaration to Peter. The use of "σύ" also appears in contexts of correction or instruction, as seen in Luke 10:41, where Jesus addresses Martha: "Martha, Martha," the Lord replied, "you are worried and upset about many things." The pronoun "σύ" is crucial in conveying the personal attention and care Jesus extends to individuals. In the epistles, "σύ" is used by the apostles to address specific individuals within the early Christian communities, often in contexts of encouragement, correction, or personal instruction. For instance, in 2 Timothy 3:14, Paul writes to Timothy, "But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed." The use of "σύ" here emphasizes the personal responsibility and encouragement directed towards Timothy. Overall, "σύ" is a key pronoun in the New Testament that facilitates personal and direct communication, reflecting the intimate and relational nature of the Christian faith.
