And He said, a certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father,

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together and went abroad into a distant country, and there squandered away his substance by living luxuriously.

But ye shall not do so: but let the greatest among you be as the younger; and he that presides as he that serveth.

Verily, verily I say unto thee, When thou wast younger, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst about where thou wouldest: but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch out thine hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee where thou wouldest not.

(when the children were not yet born, nor had done either good or evil, that the purpose of God according to his choice might abide, not on account of works, but of Him that calleth,) it was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger:

But I say again, Did not Israel know this? when first Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by those who are not a people, I will provoke you to anger by a foolish nation:"

Do not chide a senior, but exhort him as a father; and younger men as brethren:

the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity.

But the younger widows refuse: for when they grow wanton against Christ, they will needs marry:

I would therefore have the younger widows marry, bear children, manage houshold affairs, and give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.

Likewise ye younger, be subject to the elder; and all of you behaving with due submission one to another, be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, but sheweth favor to the humble.
