1
Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father, and the younger men as brethren,
2
the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3
Honor widows who are truly widows.
4
But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety at home and to requite their parents, for that is good and acceptable before God.
5
Now she that is indeed a widow, and desolate, trusteth in God and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
