Filhos
Os filhos são herança do Senhor — bênção e responsabilidade sagrada. A Bíblia orienta sobre a criação dos filhos com amor, disciplina e instrução nos caminhos de Deus.
Herança do Senhor
Os filhos são herança do Senhor e o fruto do ventre é seu galardão. Bem-aventurado o homem que enche deles a sua aljava.
lo! the heritage of the Lord is sons, the meed is the fruit of [the] womb.
As arrows be in the hand of the mighty; so the sons of them that be shaken out.
Blessed is the man, that hath [full-]filled his desire of those [or them]; he shall not be shamed, when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
The song of degrees. Blessed be all men, that dread the Lord; that go in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the travails of thine hands; thou art blessed, and it shall be well to thee.
Thy wife shall be as a plenteous vine; in the sides of thine house. Thy sons as the new springs of olive trees; in the compass of thy board.
Lo! so a man shall be blessed; that dreadeth the Lord.
The song of degrees. Blessed be all men, that dread the Lord; that go in his ways.

Whose sons be as new plantings in their youth. The daughters of them be arrayed; adorned about as the likeness of a temple.
His seed shall be mighty in [the] earth; the generation of rightful [or right] men shall be blessed.
And God blessed them, and said, Increase ye, and be ye multiplied, and fill ye the earth, and make ye it subject; and be ye lords to the fishes of the sea, and to [the] volatiles of heaven, and to all living beasts that be moved on [the] earth.
blessed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, and the fruit of thy beasts, the flocks of thy great beasts, and the folds of thy sheep;
Thou shalt be blessed among all peoples; none barren of ever either kind shall be with thee, as well in men, as in thy flocks.
Instruir e disciplinar
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar, e quando envelhecer não se desviará dele. Disciplina é amor em ação.
It is a proverb, A young waxing man after his way, and when he hath waxed eld [or eldeth], he shall not go away from it.
Folly is bound together in the heart of a child; and a rod of chastising [or discipline] shall drive it away.
He that spareth the rod, hateth his son; but he that loveth him, teacheth busily.
A rod and chastising [or discipline] shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.
Do not thou withdraw chastising or discipline, from a child; for though thou smitest him with a rod, he shall not die.
Sons, hear ye the teaching of your father; and perceive ye, that ye know prudence.
The parables of Solomon. A wise son maketh glad his father; but a fond [or foolish] son is the sorrow of his mother.
And these words which I command to thee today, shall be in thine heart;
and thou shalt tell those [or them] to thy sons, and thou shalt think upon them, sitting in thine house, and going in the way, lying down, and rising.
O amor de Deus por crianças
Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus acolheu, abençoou e honrou as crianças como modelo de fé e humildade.
And when Jesus had seen them, he bare heavy, and said to them, Suffer ye little children to come to me, and forbid ye them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
Therefore if ye, when ye be evil men, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more your Father that is in heavens shall give good things to men that ask him?
And Jesus profited in wisdom, age, and grace, with God and men.
As a father hath mercy on his sons, the Lord had mercy on men dreading him;
See ye what manner charity the Father gave to us, that we be named the sons of God, and be his sons. For this thing the world knew not us, for it knew not him.
Bênção e promessa
O Senhor te abençoe e te guarde. Os filhos dos justos serão abençoados e suas gerações caminharão na retidão.

Thine eyes saw mine unperfect thing, and all men shall be written in thy book; days shall be formed, and no man is in those [or them].
into thee I am cast forth from the womb. From the womb of my mother thou art my God;
