12 To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,
3 And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
32 Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.
33 Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.
8 My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:
9 For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitter pain to her who gave him birth.
5 A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense.
19 For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.
7 An upright man goes on in his righteousness: happy are his children after him!
31 And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
7 He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.
13 And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.
14 And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.
24 He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
15 Foolish ways are deep-seated in the heart of a child, but the rod of punishment will send them far from him.
15 Foolish ways are deep-seated in the heart of a child, but the rod of punishment will send them far from him.
21 My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.
4 Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour;
25 At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.
5 And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;
6 For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.
7 It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?
8 But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.
9 And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?
16 The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:
10 Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.
1 My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:
2 For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.
4 And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.
4 And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.
13 And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.
13 And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.
9 BETH How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.
9 BETH How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.
11 At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.
9 Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.
15 The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.
1 Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are twisted.
1 See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.
12 I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.
14 And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 Will a woman give up the child at her breast, will she be without pity for the fruit of her body? yes, these may, but I will not let you go out of my memory.
16 See, your name is marked on my hands; your walls are ever before me.
40 Then keep his laws and his orders which I give you today, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, and that your lives may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for ever.
20 Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
2 My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.
3 And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.
1 A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
19 The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.
6 If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.
6 If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.
6 If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.
6 Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;
7 Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.
22 But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.
52 And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.
11 Even a child may be judged by his doings, if his work is free from sin and if it is right.
14 But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
14 But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
26 He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.
26 Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.
3 See, sons are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the body is his reward.
2 And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.
7 Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.
12 Our sons are like tall young plants; and our daughters like the shining stones of a king's house;
1 My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:
12 For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.
4 I have no greater joy than to have news that my children are walking in the true way.
4 I have no greater joy than to have news that my children are walking in the true way.
28 Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
1 Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision.
21 Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.
11 \34:10\The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.
3 And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoever gives honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me:
15 For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.
14 And after looking, I got up and said to the great ones and to the chiefs and to the rest of the people, Have no fear of them: keep in mind the Lord who is great and greatly to be feared, and take up arms for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives and your houses.
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man has no respect for his mother.
22 Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.
23 Get for yourself that which is true, and do not let it go for money; get wisdom and teaching and good sense.
8 If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.
1 Children, do what is ordered by your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Give honour to your father and mother (which is the first rule having a reward),
3 So that all may be well for you, and your life may be long on the earth.
1 Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children;
46 Moses said to them, Let the words which I have said to you today go deep into your hearts, and give orders to your children to do every word of this law.
47 And this is no small thing for you, but it is your life, and through this you may make your days long in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.
4 And he gave me teaching, saying to me, Keep my words in your heart; keep my rules so that you may have life:
5 Get wisdom, get true knowledge; keep it in memory, do not be turned away from the words of my mouth.
36 And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him who sent me.
15 Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.
13 Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.
