The glory of young men is their strength, but the splendor of old men is their gray hair.
He leaves a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair.
The silvery hair is a crown of glory; it is found in the way of righteousness.
The blows of a wound cleanse away evil, so beatings purge the innermost depths of the heart.
You shall rise up before a gray head, and honor the face of an old man, and fear your God: I am the Lord.
I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
