1 Timothy 5:1-6

1Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; 2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

3Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4But if any widow hath children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to repay their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.1 5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.2
