abstract note	The article investigates the impact of the Authorized (King James) translation of the Bible on the translation of scriptures into English, including the Book of Mormon, Bahá'í scriptures, esoteric, "Eastern", and Christian Science texts. The author is not well versed in the verbal conjugation and usage of the authorized King James language, as evidenced in the title and elsewhere, which should have been "Thus Sayest Thou" rather than "Thus Saith Thee." The explanation of the Bahá'í usage captures some of the reason, although it does not emphasize the importance Shoghi Effendi gave to the authorized translation as a standard of English language eloquence.
