 Ephesians 2:3 has, in part:

...KAI hHMEQA TEKNA FUSEI hORGHS...

NIV translates this as "...we were by nature objects of wrath..." while KJV has "...and were by nature the children of wrath..."

The two translations convey entirely different concepts to me.

Are the NIV translators providing an accurate translation of TEKNA as "object"?  If yes, what is the rational for the translation?
