Aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good thing; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husband, that the Word of God be not blasphemed (Titus 2:3-5).
