1 Having set down a manner how to rebuke all degrees. 5 He entreateth of widows, who then were chosen for the service of the Church: 17 Then he cometh to Elders, 23 and speaketh somewhat touching the health of the body.

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

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

[b][c]Honor widows, which are widows indeed.
