54:004:012 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

54:004:013 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

54:004:014 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

54:004:015 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

54:004:016 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

54:005:001 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

54:005:002 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

54:005:003 Honour widows that are widows indeed.

54:005:004 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.

54:005:005 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
