Children

12“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

28Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.

17But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children;

3Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

8My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

1Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;

20My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.

1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

22A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

24One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

20A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.

6Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.

7A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

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

13Don’t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

14Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

24The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

10See that you don’t 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.

14But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

48and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
