9 Bible Verses about Respect For Old People

Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.

Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.

Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

The young men saw me, and went away, and the old men got up from their seats;

To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.

The glory of young men is their strength, and the honour of old men is their grey hairs.

That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind.
