-
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
-
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
-
because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
-
nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.”
-
That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
-
(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),
-
Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.
-
Paul’s Paternal Care
I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.
-
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

Tongues a Sign to Unbelievers
Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.

Glory of the New Covenant
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
-
unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
-
Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.
-
Love for the Church
Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
-
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.
-
My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,
-
for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children—
-
For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband.”
-
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
-
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
-
among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
-
that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
-
Walk in Love
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
-
Walk in Light
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
-
Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
