The First Epistle to Timothy
Chapters 5 verses 1, 2 and 17
1 Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father,
and the younger men as brethren,
2 The elder women as mothers, the younger as
sisters, with all pureness.
17 The Elders that rule well, let them be had
in double honor, specially they which labor in the
word and doctrine.

(a) Editor’s thought - I included this reference because as Paul exhorts us to honor elders, he likens them to be as our parents, and as such receive the same respect due them as if they were our own mothers and fathers.
