1 DO not rebuke an elder, but treat him as a father, and the younger men as your brothers; 2 And the elder women treat as mothers, and the younger as your sisters, with all purity. 3 Honor widows who are widows indeed. 4 And if any of the widows have children, or grandchildren, let them know that aid should be first sought from those of their own household so that the children have the opportunity to repay their obligations to their parents: for this is acceptable before God. 1 Timothy 5:1-4, Lamsa Bible.
