# General Information:
Paul was giving these commands to one person, Timothy. Languages that have different forms of "you" or different forms for commands would use the singular form here. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
# Connecting Statement:
Paul continues to tell Timothy how to treat the men, women, widows, and younger women in the church.
# Do not rebuke an older man
"Do not speak harshly to an older man"
# Instead, exhort him
"Instead, encourage him"
# as if he were a father ... as brothers
Paul uses these similes to tell Timothy that he should treat fellow believers with sincere love and respect. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
