1 Timothy 5:1-4

1Never speak harshly to an older man but appeal to him as a father; to younger men as brothers;

2older women as mothers; and younger women as sisters—with complete purity.

3Honor widows who are really widows—

4but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show devotion to their own home and give back to their parents, for this is pleasing before God.
