"the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity."
— 1 Timothy 5:2, World English Bible
“The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with 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.”
Don't rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
Honor widows who are widows indeed.
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.
Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
