1. Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers,
2. older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity.
3. Honor widows who are truly widows.
4. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
