Definition
σύ,
pron. of 2nd of person(s),
thou, you, genitive, σοῦ, dative, σοί, accusative, σέ, pl., ὑμεῖς, -ῶν, -ῖν, -ᾶς (enclitic in oblique cases sing., except after prep. (BL, §48, 3), though πρὸς σέ occurs in Matthew 25:39). Nom. for emphasis or contrast: John 1:30; 4:10; 5:33, 39, 44, Acts 4:7, Ephesians 5:32; so also perhaps σὺ εἶπας, Matthew 26:64, al. (M, Pr., 86); before voc., Matthew 2:6, Luke 1:76, John 17:5, al.; sometimes without emphasis (M, Pr., 85f.), as also in cl., but esp. as rendering of Heb. phrase, e.g. υἱός μου εἶ σύ (בְּנִי־אַתָּה, Psalm 2:7), Acts 13:33. The genitive (σοῦ, ὑμῶν) is sometimes placed bef. the noun: Luke 7:48; 12:30, al.; so also the enclitic σοῦ, Matthew 9:6; on τί ἐμοὶ κ. σοί, see: ἐγώ.
