Zitat von Florian
________
Und seltsamerweise ist das im modernen Englischen so ähnlich.
Da werden grundsätzlich alle gesiezt ("you"), einzig Gott wird geduzt ("Thou").
________

Und selbst das wird nicht immer und überall so gehalten:

"The Revised Standard Version of the Bible, which first appeared in 1946, retained the pronoun thou exclusively to address God, using you in other places. This was done to preserve the tone, at once intimate and reverent, that would be familiar to those who knew the King James Version and read the Psalms and similar text in devotional use.[21] The New American Standard Bible (1971) made the same decision, but the revision of 1995 (New American Standard Bible, Updated edition) reversed it. Similarly, the 1989 Revised English Bible dropped all forms of thou that had appeared in the earlier New English Bible (1970). The New Revised Standard Version (1989) omits thou entirely and claims that it is incongruous and contrary to the original intent of the use of thou in Bible translation to adopt a distinctive pronoun to address the Deity.[22] When referring to God, "thou" is often capitalized for clarity and reverence."
