Definition and Usage:
"Thine" is an archaic form of the possessive pronoun "your" or "yours," used in the second person singular. It is primarily found in older English translations of the Bible and other classical literature. In the context of the Bible, "thine" is used to denote possession or association with the person being addressed, often in a reverent or formal manner.

Biblical Context:
The use of "thine" in the Bible is prevalent in passages that emphasize a personal relationship with God, moral instruction, or divine commandments. It is often used in prayers, commandments, and expressions of devotion, highlighting the intimate and personal nature of one's relationship with the divine.

Examples in Scripture:

1. Prayer and Worship:
In the Lord's Prayer, the phrase "Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever" (Matthew 6:13) is a doxology that acknowledges God's ultimate authority and majesty. This usage underscores the believer's recognition of God's sovereignty and eternal dominion.

2. Commandments and Instructions:
In the Ten Commandments, the language of "thine" is used to personalize the commandments, making them directly applicable to the individual. For example, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor's" (Exodus 20:17). Here, "thy" and "thine" emphasize personal responsibility and moral conduct.

3. Expressions of Devotion:
In the Psalms, "thine" is often used to express a deep, personal devotion to God. For instance, "Thine, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Thine is the dominion, O LORD, and Thou dost exalt Thyself as head over all" (1 Chronicles 29:11). This passage reflects a heartfelt acknowledgment of God's supreme authority and the believer's submission to His will.

Theological Significance:
The use of "thine" in Scripture serves to remind believers of the personal nature of their relationship with God. It emphasizes the idea that God's commandments, promises, and blessings are directed toward each individual personally. This personal address fosters a sense of accountability, reverence, and intimacy in one's faith journey.

Cultural and Historical Context:
The use of "thine" reflects the linguistic style of the time when the King James Version and other early English translations were produced. While modern translations often replace "thine" with "your" or "yours," the original usage carries a sense of formality and respect that is sometimes lost in contemporary language. Understanding the historical context of "thine" can enrich one's appreciation of the depth and beauty of biblical language.

In summary, "thine" is a possessive pronoun that conveys a personal and intimate connection between the speaker and the subject, often used in the context of divine-human relationships in the Bible. Its usage underscores themes of personal responsibility, devotion, and reverence toward God.(pron. & a.)
