'My Children' in the Bible

give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou -- thou hast known my service which I have served thee.'

and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.

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