1 Timothy
Chapters 5:1-5
Revised Version 1885
1Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren:
2the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to shew piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
