'Children' in the Bible

and as a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say it,) be ye enlarged -- also ye!

Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now is, and is in servitude with her children,

for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'

And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.

among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,

for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,

The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;

And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;

the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.

But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,

even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying,

his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity,

Ministrants -- let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,

and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;

if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate --

that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

and again, 'Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'

Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil --

as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance,

having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having an heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of a curse,

My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,

In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.

in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.

The Elder to the choice Kyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those having known the truth,

I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father;

salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.

greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking.

and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you -- to each -- according to your works.
