"with old women, like mothers; with young women, in all chastity, like sisters. "
— 1 Timothy 5:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.”
“the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. ”
“the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.”
“older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters– with complete purity.”
“Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.”
“To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.”
“The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.”
You should not rebuke an old man, but rather plead with him, as if he were your father; with young men, like brothers;
with old women, like mothers; with young women, in all chastity, like sisters.
Honor those widows who are true widows.
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.
But she who is truly a widow and is destitute, let her hope in God, and let her be urgent in supplications and prayers, night and day.
