Lester,
TEKNON refers in general to offspring-- really of any age-- BUT it would
seem that the Timothy passage deals with younger children while the Titus
passage deals with children old enough to be rebellious and "sowing the wild
oats". IMO only adult children can violate Titus 1:6, whereas younger
children (as well as older) could be out of control (1 Ti:m 3-5). Other
Greek words are used to describe tiny children and infants. TEKNON stresses
relationships. You are not always a infant but you are always someone's
child.
Hope it helps.
