1 Timothy 5:1-3

New Matthew Bible

He teaches Timothy how he should conduct himself in rebuking all degrees of persons, and gives a direction concerning widows.

5 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; and the younger men as brethren, ² the older women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all pureness. ³ Honour widows that are true widows.
