older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters – with complete purity.

Do not address an older man harshly but appeal to him as a father. Speak to younger men as brothers,

But do not accept younger widows on the list, because their passions may lead them away from Christ and they will desire to marry,

So I want younger women to marry, raise children, and manage a household, in order to give the adversary no opportunity to vilify us.
