Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, he shall not enter it.

As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself as a child that is weaned by his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

But Jesus called them to him, and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
