The elder women as mothers

(πρεσβυτερας ως μητερας). Anarthrous again, "older women as mothers." Respect and reverence once more.The younger as sisters, in all purity

(νεωτερας ως αδελφας εν παση αγνια). Anarthrous also and comparative form as in verse 1 Timothy 5:1. See 1 Timothy 4:12 for αγνια. No sort of behavior will so easily make or mar the young preacher as his conduct with young women.
