The young and the old

1 Timothy 5:1 (NIV) Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers.

1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
