We just finished memorizing and using this scripture for copy work. It is a pretty deep scripture and longer than most of the ones we've done in the past, so I let the younger boys just trace half of it each day instead of the whole thing, that made it a little more doable for them. The older girls pretty much have it memorized, the boys don't really, but at least it is familiar to them now and maybe they will understand it as they mature. They do like the part about how we need to be like a little child. Here's a link to the whole chapter online and here it is:
19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.
