1 Don't treat a senior with harsh reproof, but exhort him as a father, and the young men, as brethren: 2 the elder women as mothers; the younger, as sisters, with all purity. 3 show regard to widows that are really such. 4 if a widow has children or grand-children, let them above all things instruct their own family to be religious, and let them be grateful to their parents, for this is acceptable to God. 5 as for the widow, who is really such, and without any assistance, let her place all her hopes in God, and be assiduous in supplication and prayer. 1 Timothy 5:1-5, Mace New Testament.
