1 Timothy 5:1-4

Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers, the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity. Honor widows who are widows indeed; but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

We should always appeal to an old man as father, not rebuke him. Older men of God are highly respected in the family, and they should all be loved. It is acceptable in the sight of God to learn piety in the sense of raising a family. When a man and woman of Christ raise a family with true Christian values, they should truly be loved and respected.
