1 Timothy 5:1-4
1) Don‘t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2) the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3) Honor widows who are widows indeed.
4) But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
2 Timothy 2:1-2
1) You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2) The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
Titus 2:1-15
1) But say the things which fit the sound doctrine,
2) that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
3) and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4) that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5) to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God‘s word may not be blasphemed.
6) Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober-minded;
7) in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
8) and soundness of speech that can‘t be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
9) Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
10) not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
11) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12) instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;
13) looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ;
14) who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
15) Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.
