1 An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:
2 Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
3 Honour widows, that are widows indeed.
4 But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God.
