'Children' in the Bible

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.

Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and'such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

My Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.

My little children, guard yourselves from idols.
