"Teach the older women
to be quiet and respectful in everything they do. They must not
go around speaking evil of others and must not be heavy drinkers,
but they should be teachers of goodness. These older women must
train the younger women to live quietly, to love their husbands
and their children, and to be sensible and clean minded, spending
their time in their own homes, being kind and obedient to their
husbands, so that the Christian faith can't be spoken against
by those who know them."
- Titus 2:3-5

"The inhabitants
of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah
arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. Awake, awake, Deborah;
awake, utter a song. The aged women likewise, that they be in
behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given
to much wine, teachers of good things; 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 husbands, that the word of God be
not blasphemed."
- Judges
5:7-12 -
