I wanted to read this thread because I have been pondering another "they" reference and thought this had some insights on my search.

Mat 24:38 For G1063 as G5618 in G1722 the G3588 days G2250 that G3588 were before G4253 the G3588 flood G2627 they were G2258 eating G5176 and G2532 drinking, G4095 marrying G1060 and G2532 giving in marriage,G1547 until G891 the day G2250 that G3739 Noe G3575 entered G1525 into G1519 the G3588 ark, G2787

Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Strong's Hebrew and Greek dictionary (the G numbers for Greek) translate almost every word, but no citation for the word "they". That is interesting.

When the pharisees had an exchange with Jesus, laughing in HIS face that HE was a bastard, (Joseph was not HIS father and everyone knew that)(That starts in John 8:39) Jesus told them that if Abraham was their father, they would know who Jesus was, but they were of their father the devil.

Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (KJV)

By the way, I just last week believe I solved my "they" inquiry.
