Those who

This phrase, applied in a restrictive sense, is the modern substitute for the ancient idiom they that , an idiom in accordance with the true meaning of that . "' They that told me the story said'; 'Ble ed are they that mourn'; 'and Simon and they that were with him'; 'I love them that love me, and they that seek me early shall find me'; ' they that are whole have no need of a physician'; 'how sweet is the rest of them that labor!' 'I can not tell who to compare them to so fitly as to them that pick pockets in the presence of the judge'; ' they that enter into the state of marriage cast a die of the greatest contingency' (J. Taylor). "' That man hath perfect ble edne Who walketh not astray,' if expre ed according to the old idiom would be, ' the man hath— that walketh.' "'That' and 'those,' as demonstrative adjectives, refer backward, and are not therefore well suited for the forward reference implied in making use of 'that which' and 'those who' as restrictive relatives. It is also very cumbrous to say ' that case to which you allude' for 'the case ( that ) you allude to .' "Take now the following: 'The Duke of Wellington is not one of those who interfere with matters over which he has no control': 'the Duke is not one of them that interfere in matters that they have no control over (matters that they can not control, beyond their control , out of their province ).' If 'them that' sounds too antiquated, we may adopt as a convenient compromise, 'the Duke is not one of those that '; or, 'the Duke is not one to interfere in matters out of his province'; 'the duke is not one that interferes with what he has no control over .'"—Bain.
