Bible verses about "the role of the older woman" | WNT

³⁴ Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says; ³⁵ and if they wish to ask questions, they should ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a married woman to speak at a Church assembly. ³⁶ Was it from you that God's Message first went forth, or is it to you only that it has come?

¹ Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers;

¹¹ Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women, not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy.

³ In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right. ⁴ They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives, ⁵ industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.
