unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child'serveth a father,'so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.

Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me.

The children of thine elect sister salute thee.

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms.

I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you--

This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;

to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

She that is in Babylon, elect together with you , saluteth you; and'so doth Mark my son.

My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

I write unto you, my little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.

Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
