'Having' in the Bible

having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;

in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby.

who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;
