1. You should not rebuke an old man, but rather plead with him, as if he were your father; with young men, like brothers;
2. with old women, like mothers; with young women, in all chastity, like sisters.
3. Honor those widows who are true widows.
4. But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let her first learn to manage her own household, and to fulfill, in turn, her own obligation to her parents; for this is acceptable before God.
