Ross

I believe the answer is:

thou

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'second person in the bible?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'the bible?' is the wordplay.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'bible?' becomes 'hou' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
't'+'hou'='THOU'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thou that I've seen before include "Archaic pronoun" , "You (many years ago)" , "once paired with art" , "Subject" , "You (formerly)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Wall Street Journal.
