'Little Child' in the Bible

“Whoever welcomes one little child such as this in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me does not welcome Me, but Him who sent Me.”

Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them.

When Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me. Don’t stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and had him stand next to Him.

He told them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. For whoever is least among you—this one is great.”

Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to Me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.

My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the Righteous One.

I am writing to you, little children,because your sins have been forgivenbecause of Jesus’ name.

So now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears we may have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

Little children, let no one deceive you! The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous.

Little children, we must not love with word or speech, but with truth and action.

You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
