There are many weak young persons and a lot of unwise old people. Here the word “old” doesn’t speak about age, but about experience. It is like the term “presbyteros”, elder, when it speaks about a leader of the church it means expert, person with experience in the knowledge of God, kind of “wise man”. The main strength of an young person in faith is big enthusiasm, a big motivational force that gives him wings, but the strength of a person with experience in faith is the wisdom of the knowledge of God and the stories that he can tell about how God manifested in his own life.
