Long Life

The glory of young men is their strength,
gray hair the splendor of the old.

Proverbs 20:29 NIV


LORD, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days, what it is:
that I may know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth;
and mine age is as nothing before thee:
verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.

Psalm 39:4,5 KJV


Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

Titus 2:2-5 NASB
