One of the greatest commandments that sums the laws of the prophets is to love our neighbor as ourselves. To love a fellow man or woman is to treat them not just right but as the Bible instructs us to. So what does the Bible tell us about treating people, both old and young; men and women?

1 Timothy 5:1-2 tells us how we are to treat all people. The older men are to be exhorted as fathers; the older women as mothers; the younger men as brothers and younger women as sisters (with all purity).

Did you notice, irrespective of age (old or young) or gender (men or women), we are to treat all people as members of our immediate family (father, mother, brother, and sister). To love our neighbors as ourselves is to treat all as per the counsel of the Scripture and that means it is a family issue.

1 Timothy 5:1-2 (KJV)
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
