For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son.
Be sympathetic even if his mind fails him; don't look down on him just because you are strong and healthy.
Even if his mind fails, be considerate of him; do not revile him because you are in your prime.
Even if his mind fails, be sympathetic toward him; do not despise him simply because you yourself are healthy and strong.
even if his mind fails, be patient with him; because you have all your faculties do not despise him.
even if his mind fails, be patient with him; because you have all your faculties do not despise him.
even if his mind fails, be patient with him; because you have all your faculties do not despise him.
even if his mind fails, be patient with him; do not despise him because you have all your faculties.
even if he is lacking in understanding, show forbearance; in all your strength do not despise him.
even if he is lacking in understanding, show forbearance; in all your strength do not despise him.
and if he faileth in wit, give thou forgiveness, and despise thou not him in thy virtue (or in thy strength);
