In context

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

²Older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.

³Honor the widows who are truly widows.

⁴But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.

⁵The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.
