They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.
All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's peace.
For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.
But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.
They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about.
Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
