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/translate/figs-you]])

# Connecting Statement:

# 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
