In a race, it is sometimes advantageous to have a head start. If the distance is lessened, it becomes easier for you to finish the race. The older women are to give such an advantage to the younger women. Paul is encouraging the older women to train the younger women - even the young girls - to not make the same mistakes they may have made. Nip it in the bud. Don't even let them go ther in the first place. Shape the young girls so that there is no room for slander and drunkenness in their lives. Then the loving of their husbands and the loving of their children will flow naturally. Older women, are you willing to be this kind of influence on the young? Young women, are you willing to follow?
