1 Timothy 5:1-4 ▼

1 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

2 older women as mothers, and with all propriety, the younger women as sisters.

3 Support widows who are genuinely widows.

4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to practice godliness toward their own family first and to repay their parents, for this pleases God.
