'Knowing' in the Bible

Because, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do them.

or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

And not only that, but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;

knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.

knowing that Christ having been raised up from among the dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.

Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?

This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that we should be aroused out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
