KJV Word TypeAdverb
DefinitionThree times. An archaic adverb used throughout the KJV where modern English would say "three times." Appears in memorable passages: Peter's three denials of Christ, Paul's three beatings, and his thrice-repeated prayer for the removal of his thorn.
Key Verses"For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me." (2 Corinthians 12:8); "And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." (Matthew 26:75)
