Holman Christian Standard Bible

1 Timothy 5:1-4 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

2. older women as mothers, and with all propriety, the younger women as sisters.

3. Support widows who are genuinely widows.

4. But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to practice godliness toward their own family first and to repay their parents, for this pleases God.
