  5    I, 5   |        Paedagogy is the training of children (paidôn agôgê), is clear
  6    I, 5   |      remains for us to consider the children whom Scripture points to;
  7    I, 5   |          charge of them. We are the children. In many ways Scripture

  9    I, 5   |            position of disciples as children. "And they brought to Him,"

 13    I, 5   |            also distinguishes us as children. "Plucking," it is said, "

 20    I, 5   |            He alludes to the simple children, as if they were sheep and
 21    I, 5   |           For sometimes He calls us children, sometimes chickens, sometimes

 23    I, 5   |         then use the appellation of children on account of their very

 30    I, 5   |           as a nurse cherisheth her children." The child (nêpios) is
 31    I, 5   |             a kind of definition of children, so to speak, when he says, "
 32    I, 5   |          understand the designation children of simple ones, we glory
 33    I, 5   |           and never changes. "Their children," it is said, "shall be
