1 Timothy 5:7-13

7These thingsG3778 alsoG2532 commandG3853, that they may beG1510 without reproachG423.

8But if any provideth not for his ownG2398, and specially his ownG2398 householdG3609, he hath deniedG720 the faithG4102, and isG1510 worse than an unbelieverG571.

9Let none be enrolled as a widowG5503 under threescore yearsG2094 old, having been the wifeG1135 of oneG1520 manG435,

10well reported of for goodG18 worksG2041; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washedG3538 the saints’G40 feetG4228, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every goodG18 workG2041.

11But younger widowsG5503 refuseG3868: for whenG3752 they have waxed wanton against ChristG5547, they desireG2309 to marryG1060;

12having condemnationG2917, because they have rejectedG114 their firstG4413 pledge.

13And withal they learnG3129 alsoG2532 to be idleG692, going about from houseG3614 to houseG3614; and not onlyG3440 idleG692, but tattlers alsoG2532 and busybodies, speakingG2980 things which they oughtG1163 not.
