Or, "dear children." It seems preferable to render this term teknia generally "dear children." For tekna all translate as "children"; and "little children" (paidia) is appropriated in {vi 30565}{/vi} and 18 to the third class of the "dear children" or teknia, which is the general designation of all the three classes, and so runs through the Epistle. Hence "children" in {vi 30581-30582}{/vi} includes all the family. We are all called "children of God," and we are so now; and it is a mistake to say "sons" of God, though we are also His sons. But here it is expressly "children" of God, not sons adopted but born of God, and so His children. But teknia is a diminutive term closely connected with "children"; and the reason for its use is as an expression of affection; as when a parent, not content to say to his little one "my dear," calls it "my dearie." It is meant for fondness of expression. This illustrates its force here; and therefore it seems best to say "dear children," in order to distinguish from "children" (tekna) on the one hand, and the little children or babes (paidia) on the other.
