'Children' in the Bible

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

in order to redeem those who were under the Law, and thus to adopt them as his children.

Now because you are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts to cry out, "Abba! Father!"

It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; always, and not only when I am with you, my children--

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

These things are illustrations, for the women represent the two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery—this is Hagar.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
