1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor yoʋr father and mother" (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3 "that it may be well with yoʋ and yoʋ may live long on the earth."

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

1 Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children,

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

14 Yet Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

14 Yet Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Who is greater in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 So Jesus called over a little child, placed him among them, 3 and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is greater in the kingdom of heaven.

3 and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is greater in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever receives one little child such as this in my name receives me.

10 "Be careful not to despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of my Father in heaven.

25 At that time Jesus said, "I praise yoʋ, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because yoʋ have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called sons of God.

13 Now people were bringing children to Jesus so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked *those who were bringing them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

36 Then he took a child and placed him before them. And taking the child in his arms, he said to them, 37 "Whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me."

52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.

15 When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of *Jonah, do yoʋ love me more than these?" Peter said to him, "Yes, Lord, yoʋ know that I care for yoʋ." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but a spirit of adoption as sons, by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.

19 The creation waits with eager longing for the sons of God to be revealed.

26 for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

1 See what great love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called children of *God! The reason the world does not know *you is that it did not know him.

2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when he appears, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is. 3 Everyone who places this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

12 I am writing to you, little children,

because your sins have been forgiven you on account of his name.

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.*

4 He must lead his own household well, keeping his children in submission with all dignity.

8 But if anyone does not provide for his own relatives, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

5 And you have completely forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

"My son, do not think lightly of the discipline of the Lord,

and do not lose heart when he rebukes you.

6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,

and he punishes every son he receives."

7 * 15 ¦ If you are enduring discipline, it is because 𝔐14 ANT PCK TR For the sake of discipline you must endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8 If you do not experience discipline, which is something everyone receives, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?

11 Now no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces the peaceful fruit of righteousness for those trained by it.

31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus *Christ, and yoʋ will be saved, yoʋ and yoʋr household."

22 Flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.

2 Entrust what yoʋ have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses to faithful men who will be competent to teach others also.

4 I have no greater *joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
