13 And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, »Let the little children come to me; and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
3 And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

5 And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? »My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,nor lose courage when you are rebuked by him.
6 For those whom the Lord loves he disciplines,and he scourges every son whom he receives.«
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9 Besides this, we have had fathers of our flesh to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
10 »See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

14 But Jesus said, »Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.«
26 For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 »Honor your father and mother« (which is the first commandment with a promise),
3 »that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.«
