Younger

Romans 9:12

not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”

Titus 2:6

Similarly, encourage the young men  to be self-controlled.

1 Timothy 5:2

older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.

Genesis 27:15

Then Rebekah took the best clothes  of Esau her older son,  which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.

We are secured 

O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure. — Psalm 7:9

In a world of organized crime, gangs, and predators, we have some real work cut out for us if we are going to influence the violent part of contemporary culture to change its ways. Maybe the place to start is down on our knees before the Father, asking him to use us to make a difference in our violent world!
