'Whereas' in the Bible
He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?
whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;
whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
