The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 5:2 Go To 1 Timothy 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
A just medium must be observed in the guidance of the sex, avoiding equally an indiscreet severity or an affection too tender and bordering on sensuality. A just diffidence in self is the best security.
All chastity refers to the heart, eyes, ears, words, looks, with the precautions of times and places.
