'My Children' in the Bible

"and he from indoors shall answer. 'Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.'

I pray you, therefore, in fair exchange (I speak as to my children), let your hearts also be wide open to me.

My children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.

My children, this is the last hour, and as you have heard that an antichrist was coming, and now many antichrists are already risen, whence we may know that it is the last hour.

And now continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

My children, let no one deceive you; he who is working righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous.

My children, let us not love in word nor in talk, but in deed and in truth.

I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are passing their lives in the truth.
