'State' in the Bible

So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.

Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds:

Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation."

for he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first."

whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
