More explanation about the icons and New Covenant Literal Application
The New Covenant Literal Application Code (NCLA) is an interpretive guide used by the authors to indicate which person categories a mitzvah applies to, and at what level of literal compliance.
Each card above groups one application level such as mandated or optional. The three people icons show whether that application is meant for Jewish, K'rov Yisrael, or Gentile believers, and the male or female symbols show whether it applies to men, women, or both.
This code reflects the authors' interpretive opinion and is provided for prayerful consideration. The icon view is only a visual summary; the detailed codes and source explanation remain available below for careful study.
Detailed codes: GFm - Gentile female, mandated | GMm - Gentile male, mandated | JFm - Jewish female, mandated | JMm - Jewish male, mandated | KFm - K'rovat Yisrael female, mandated | KMm - K'rov Yisrael male, mandated

Commentary
Rabbi Michael Rudolph
Although the defined subject of 1 Timothy 5:1-2 is having respect for a person that we are rebuking, 1 Peter 2:17 and others in the Tanakh suggest that its intended application is broader. There are different ways of treating people with respect according to whether the people are older or younger or male or female. Men do not treat women as they do other men, nor do women treat men as they do other women. Similarly, adults do not treat each other as they would children, and children should show respect to adults differently than they do to their peers. Similar regarding those in authority and those subordinate to them. Also, because we are part of God’s family, we have family responsibilities of giving love one to the other. We are therefore to relate to significantly older people as to parents, significantly younger people as to children, and peers as to brothers and sisters.
