1 You should not rebuke an old man, but rather plead with him, as if he were your father; with young men, like brothers; 2 with old women, like mothers; with young women, in all chastity, like sisters. 3 Honor those widows who are true widows. 4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let her first learn to manage her own household, and to fulfill, in turn, her own obligation to her parents; for this is acceptable before God. 5 But she who is truly a widow and is destitute, let her hope in God, and let her be urgent in supplications and prayers, night and day. 1 Timothy 5:1-5, Catholic Public Domain Version.
