1 Timothy 5:3

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren;

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
