1Timothy:5:1-6

Seeker Overlay ON

* Do not reprimand an aged man , but continue pleading with him as if he were your father . Treat the young men as brothers , * the older women as mothers , the younger women as sisters in all purity . * Ever honor widows who are really widows ; * but if any widow has children or grandchildren , let these learn to show their piety first toward their own household , and to make some return to their parents , for that is pleasing in Gods sight . * Now she who is a widow indeed , and desolate , has fixed her hope on God , and devotes herself to supplications and prayers , day and night . * But she who lives in wantonness is dead even while she still lives .
