ἔχωσιν

they may have
To have or possess, to hold in one's possession or grasp something tangible or intangible.

By extension, it means to experience (e.g., 'to have fear'), to maintain (a state or condition), to be in a particular state (e.g., 'to be sick'), or to relate or pertain to something (e.g., 'to bear relation to'). Depending on context, it can mean to be able (i.e., 'to have power/ability'), to keep or retain, to bear, to concern, or to be connected or joined with.
