What does the Bible say about the role of the older woman?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible calls older women to display mature godliness and to strengthen the church by teaching younger women what accords with sound doctrine. In Titus 2:3-5, they are to be reverent, self-controlled, truthful, and able to encourage younger women toward faithful love, purity, wise household stewardship, and submission to their own husbands, so that God’s word is honored. Their instruction arises chiefly from a life shaped by the gospel, not from worldly authority or gossip. First Timothy 3:11 likewise commends women who are dignified, sober-minded, and faithful. Scripture also honors women as necessary helpers in God’s good creation and as builders of their households through wisdom and godly conduct.
