The other day I saw on the back of a pickup "Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved."

At the time I wondered what is a "thou" and what is it saved for or from. Maybe someone with a large vocabulary can help here.

Specifically it is the old familiar form of the second person pronoun, you being the formal form. German has Du and Sie, Spanish has tu and usted, French has tu and vous. English used to have thou and you.

Too stupid to use a dictionary, and believes the worlds is only 6,000 years old.

Does anyone else see the relationship?
