σύ, pronoun of the second person (Doric and Aeolic, τύ, Boeotic, τοῦ), genitive σου, dative σοι, accusative σε; (which oblique cases are enclitic, unless a preposition precede; yet πρός σε is written (uniformly in Rec. (except Mat_26:18), in Grab. (except Joh_21:22-23), in Treg. (except Mat_26:18; Act_23:30), in Lachmann (except Mat_26:18; Joh_17:11; Joh_17:13; Joh_21:22-23; Act_23:30), in Tdf. (except Mat_26:18; Luk_1:19; Joh_17:11; Joh_17:13; Joh_21:22; Act_23:18; Act_23:30; 1Ti_3:14; Tit_3:12); also by WH in Mat_25:39), see ἐγώ, 2; Lipsius, Grammat. Untersuch., p. 62f, (Winers Grammar, § 6, 3; Buttmann, 31 (27))); plural ὑμεῖς, etc.; Latintu, etc.,vos, etc.; thou, etc., ye, etc. The nominatives σύ and ὑμεῖς are expressed for emphasis before a vocative, as σύ Βηθλημ, Mat_2:6; σύ παιδίον (Lucian, dial. deor. 2, 1), Luk_1:76; add, Joh_17:5; Act_1:24; 1Ti_6:11, etc.; ὑμεῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, Luk_11:39; or when the pronoun has a noun or a participle added to it in apposition in order to define it more sharply, as σύ Ἰουδαῖος ὤν (thou, being a Jew), Joh_4:9, cf. Gal_2:14; ὑμεῖς πονηροί ὄντες, Mat_7:11; or when several are addressed who are at the same time particularized, σύ ... σύ, Jas_2:3; also in antithesis, Mat_3:14; Mat_6:17; Mat_11:3 : Mar_14:36; Luk_16:7; Joh_2:10; Joh_3:2; Act_10:15; 1Co_3:23; Jas_2:18, and very often; sometimes the antithetic term is suppressed, but is easily understood from the context: εἰ σύ εἰ, if it be thou, and not an apparition, Mat_14:28; add, Luk_15:31; Luk_17:8, etc.; or when a particle is added, as σύ οὖν (at the close of an argument, when the discourse reverts to the person to be directly addressed), Luk_4:7; Joh_8:5; Act_23:21; 2Ti_2:1; 2Ti_2:3; σύ 2Ti_2:8; (in contrasts), Luk_9:60; 2Ti_3:10; Tit_2:1; Heb_1:11, etc.; ὑμεῖς δέ, Mat_21:13; Jas_2:6; καί σύ, and thou, thou also, thou too, Mat_11:23; Mat_26:69; Mat_26:73; Luk_10:15; Luk_19:19; Luk_19:42; Luk_22:58; plural, Mat_15:3; Mat_15:16; Luk_17:10; before the 2nd person of the verb where the person is to be emphasized (like the German du, ihr eben, du da, 'it is thou,' 'thou art the very man,' etc.), σύ εἰ, Mat_27:11; Mar_15:2; Luk_23:3; Joh_1:19; Joh_3:10; Joh_4:12; Joh_8:53; Act_23:3, etc.; plural Luk_9:55 Rec.; σύ λέγεις, εἶπας, Mat_26:25; Mat_27:11; Mar_15:2; it is used also without special emphasis ((cf. Buttmann, § 129, 12, and) see ἐγώ, 1), Mar_14:68; Joh_8:13; Act_7:28, etc. Tile genitives σου and ὑμῶν, joined to substantives, have the force of a possessive, and are placed sometimes after the noun, as τόν πόδα σου, Mat_4:6; τούς ἀδελφούς ὑμῶν, Mat_5:47, and very often;sometimes before the noun (see ἐγώ, 3 b.), as σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, Luk_7:48; σου τῆς νεότητός, 1Ti_4:12; ὑμῶν δέ καί τρίχες, Mat_10:30; add, Mar_10:43 (here Rec. after); Luk_12:30; Joh_16:6; Rom_14:16; 2Co_1:24 (here now before, now after); sometimes between the article and noun, as τήν ὑμῶν ἐπιπόθησιν, 2Co_7:7; add, 2Co_8:14(13),14; ; Php_1:19; Php_1:25; Php_2:30; Col_1:8. ἔσται σου πάντα (πᾶσα), Luk_4:7 (cf. Buttmann, § 132, 11, I. a.). It is added to the pronoun αὐτός: σου αὐτῆς, Luk_2:35. On the phrase τί ἐμοί καί σοι, see ἐγώ, 4. ((From Homer on.))
