Even though it says "no homem velho" which literally is "in the old man", I believe it is being used in general terms here and thus the translation "in older people"

Comment: "É um aboa tradução, embpra não venha ao encontro pretendido do "homem velho" de que nos fala o Evangelho. Não pela sua idade, mas pela sua menta fechada ao nova e verdadeira realidade da vida. Talvez um comentário suplementar, do estimado tradutor, ainda seja possível
Obrigado."
