'Whereas' in the Bible

But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don't bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
