G5043 — τέκνον

τέκνου, τό (τίκτω, τεκεῖν), from Homer down, the Sept. chiefly for בֵּן, sometimes for יֶלֶד, offspring; plural children;

a. properly, α. universally and without regard to sex, child: Mar 13:12; Luk 1:7; Act 7:5; Rev 12:4; plural, Mat 7:11; Mat 10:21; Mat 15:26; Mar 7:27; Mar 12:19; Luk 1:17; Luk 14:26; Act 21:5; 2Co 12:14; Eph 6:1; Col 3:20; 1Th 2:7, 1Th 2:11; 1Ti 3:4; Tit 1:6; 2Jo 1:1, 2Jo 1:4, 2Jo 1:13, and often; with emphasis: to be regarded as true, genuine children, Rom 9:7; τέκνα ἐπαγγελίας, children begotten by virtue of the divine promise, Rom 9:8; accounted as children begotten by virtue of God's promise, Gal 4:28; τά τέκνα τῆς σαρκός, children by natural descent, Rom 9:8. in a broader sense (like the Hebrew בָּנִים), posterity: Mat 2:18; Mat 3:9; Luk 3:8; Act 2:39; Act 13:33(32). with emphasis: genuine posterity, true offspring, Joh 8:39; (of women) to be regarded as children, 1Pe 3:6. β. specifically, a male child, a son: Mat 21:28; Act 21:21; Rev 12:5; in the vocative, in kindly address, Mat 21:28; Luk 2:48; Luk 15:31.

b. metaphorically, the name is transferred to that intimate and reciprocal relationship formed between men by the bonds of love, friendship, trust, just as between parents and children; α. in affectionate address, such as patrons, helpers, teachers, and the like, employ; vocative child (son), my child, children. (Latinfili, mi fili, etc., forcarissime, etc.): Mat 9:2; Mar 2:5; Mar 10:24 (here Lachmann τεκνία, which see). β. just as in Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, Persian, so in the N. T., pupils or disciples are called children of their teachers, because the latter by their instruction nourish the minds of their pupils and mould their characters (see γεννάω, 2 b.): Phi 1:10; 2Ti 1:2; 3Jo 1:4; in affectionate address, Gal 4:19 L text T Tr WH marginal reading; 1Ti 1:18; 2Ti 2:1; with ἐν κυρίῳ added, 1Co 4:17; ἐν πίστει, 1Ti 1:2; κατά κοινήν πίστιν, Tit 1:4 (הַגְּבִיאִים בְּנֵי, sons i. e. disciples of the prophets, 1 Kings 21:35 (); 2Ki 2:3, 2Ki 2:5, 2Ki 2:7; among the Persians, 'sons of the Magi,' i. e. their pupils). γ. τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ, children of God —in the O. T. of 'the people of Israel' as especially dear to God: Isa 30:1; Wis. 16:21; — in the N. T., in Paul's writings, all who are animated by the Spirit of God (Rom 8:14) and thus are closely related to God: Rom 8:16f, 21; Eph 5:1; Phi 2:15; those to whom, as dearly beloved of God, he has appointed salvation by Christ, Rom 9:8; in the writings of John, all who ἐκ Θεοῦ ἐγεννήθησαν (have been begotten of God, see γεννάω, 2 d.): Joh 1:12; 1Jo 3:1f, 10; 1Jo 5:2; those whom God knows to be qualified to obtain the nature and dignity of his children, Joh 11:52. (Cf. Westcott on the Epistles of St. John, pp. 94, 120; "In St. Paul the expressions 'sons of God', 'children of God', mostly convey the idea of liberty (see however Phi 2:15), in St. John of guilelessness and love; in accordance with this distinction St. Paul uses υἱοί as well as τέκνα, St. John τέκνα only" (Lightfoot); cf. υἱός τοῦ Θεοῦ, 4.) δ. τέκνα τοῦ διαβόλου, those who in thought and action are prompted by the devil, and so reflect his character: 1Jo 3:10.

c. metaphorically, and Hebraistically, one is called τέκνον, of anything "who depends upon it, is possessed by a desire or affection for it, is addicted to it; or who is liable to any fate"; thus in the N. T. we find α. children of a city, i. e. its citizens, inhabitants (Jer 2:30; Joe 2:23; Joe 2:1 Macc. 1:38; υἱοί Σιών, Psa 149:2): Mat 23:37; Luk 13:34; Luk 19:44; Gal 4:25. β. τέκνα τῆς σοφίας, the votaries of wisdom, those whose souls have, as it were, been nurtured and moulded by wisdom: Mat 11:19 (where T Tr text WH have hastily adopted ἔργων for τέκνων; cf. Keim, ii, p. 369 (English translation, iv., p. 43f; per contra, see Tdf.s note and WH's Appendix at the passage)); Luk 7:35; τέκνα ὑπακοῆς, those actuated by a desire to obey, obedient, 1Pe 1:14; τοῦ φωτός, both illumined by the light and loving the light, Eph 5:8. γ. κατάρας τέκνα, exposed to cursing, 2Pe 2:14; τῆς ὀργῆς, doomed to God's wrath or penalty, Eph 2:3; cf. Steiger on 1Pe 1:14; Winers Grammar, 238 (223); (Buttmann, 161 (141)). In the same way ἔκγονος is used sometimes in Greek writings; as, ἔκγονος ἀδικίας, δειλίας, Plato, legg. 3, p. 691 c.; 10, p. 901 e. [SYNONYMS: τέκνον, υἱός: τέκνον and υἱός while concurring in pointing to parentage, differ in that τέκνον gives prominence to the physical and outward aspects, υἱός to the inward, ethical, legal. Cf.

b. γ. above; υἱός τοῦ Θεοῦ, at the end; παῖς, at the end and references (especially that to Höhne).]

τέκνον , - ου , τό

( < τίκτω ),

[in LXX chiefly for H1121, also for H3206 etc.;]

that which is begotten, born ( cf.

H1121), of posterity, Mat 2:18, Luk 3:8, al. ; specif., of a male child, Mat 21:28, Act 21:21, al. ; in voc. as a form of kindly address from an elder to a junior or from a teacher to a disciple, Mat 9:2; Mat 21:28, Mar 2:5, Luk 2:48; τ . μου ( = cl . τ . μοι ; v. B1., § 37, 5), Gal 4:19 ( τεκνία , WH , txt .), 2Ti 2:1. Metaph.,

(a) of disciples (apart from direct address, v. supr .): Phm 1:10 , 1Ti 1:1, Tit 1:4, 3Jn 1:4;

(b) with reference to the Fatherhood of God ( see πατήρ , γεννάω ), τέκνα τ . θεοῦ ( cf. Isa 30:1, Wis 16:21 ): Rom 8:16, Eph 5:1, Php 2:15; and esp . in Johannine bks. ( cf. Westc ., Epp. Jo., 94, 120), Joh 1:12 , 1Jn 3:1, al. ;

(c) of those who imitate others and are therefore regarded as the spiritual offspring of their exemplars: Mat 3:9, Luk 3:8 Joh 8:39, Rom 9:7, 1Pe 3:6; τ . διαβόλου , 1Jn 3:10;

(d) as in Heb . ( LXX , Joe 2:23, Psa 149:2, 1Ma 1:38 ), of the inhabitants of a city: Mat 23:37, Luk 13:34; Luk 19:44, Gal 4:25;

(e) with an, adjectival gen ., freq . rendering a Heb . ex-pression, adopted from LXX or formed on the analogy of its language, but sometimes with parallels in Gk . writers ( v. Deiss., BS , 161 ff .): τέκνα φωτός , Eph 5:8; τ . ὑπακοῆς , 1Pe 1:14; κατάρας , 2Pe 2:14; ὀργῆς , Eph 2:3.
