¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, `even' to them that believe on his name:

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.

⁷ A righteous man that walketh in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father's correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.

¹ In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

² And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,

³ and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁵ And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:

³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

²⁵ A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her that bare him.

⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹ For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.

³² Now therefore, `my' sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.

³³ Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not.

³⁴ Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

⁷ Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son; But he that is a companion of gluttons shameth his father.

¹³ And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; `But' the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

²¹ `My' little children, guard yourselves from idols.

²⁴ He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

⁴ one that ruleth well his own house, having `his' children in subjection with all gravity;

²⁵ At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes:

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;

⁶ For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

⁷ It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom `his' father chasteneth not?

⁸ But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⁹ Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days chastened `us' as seemed good to them; but he for `our' profit, that `we' may be partakers of his holiness.

² 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.

³ And every one that hath this hope `set' on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

⁴ Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

¹ A wise son `heareth' his father's instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebuke.

¹⁶ The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth.

⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.

¹⁰ See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

²² after righteousness, faith, love, pace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

¹ My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:

² For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.

³ Let not kindness and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

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

¹¹ Even a child maketh himself known by his doings, Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

⁴ And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

¹⁴ But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.

²⁶ He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

¹³ And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

²⁶ For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ.

²⁸ There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one `man' in Christ Jesus.

³ Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; `And' the fruit of the womb is `his' reward.

⁹ BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed `thereto' according to thy word.

² And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

¹¹ All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, `even the fruit' of righteousness.

¹² When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

¹ My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:

⁶ Children's children are the crown of old men; And the glory of children are their fathers.

¹² For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

⁴ Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.

¹¹ Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

¹ Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity Than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

³ and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁵ And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:

⁶ But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and `that' he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

¹⁵ For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹ 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.

¹⁴ And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

²⁰ A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.

¹² I write unto you, `my' little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

²² Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.

²³ Buy the truth, and sell it not; `Yea', wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

²⁴ The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; And he that begetteth a wise child will have joy of him.

⁸ But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

² Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),

³ that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

⁴ And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

⁴ And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

⁶ Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.

¹⁵ Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.

¹⁶ Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

¹⁷ Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee.

¹ Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;

¹³ Withhold not correction from the child; `For' if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.

³⁶ And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,

³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.

¹⁵ So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, `son' of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
