taking care of elders

KJV

¶ Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.

KJV

¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

KJV

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

KJV

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

KJV

The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.

KJV

With the ancient [is] wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

KJV

The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head.

KJV

And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs will I carry [you:] I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].

KJV

4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

KJV

36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37And she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day. 38And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

KJV

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

KJV

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

KJV

1Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren; 2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 8But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

KJV

2That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

KJV

1Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren; 2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

KJV

10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall be free]. 12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

KJV

1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
