1 Timothy 5:9-12

9A widowG5503 should be enrolledG2639 if she isG1096 at least sixtyG1835 yearsG2094 old, faithfulG1135G1520 to her husbandG435, 10and well knownG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 deedsG2041 such as bringing up childrenG5044, entertaining strangersG3580, washingG3538 the feetG4228 of the saintsG40, imparting reliefG1884 to the afflictedG2346, and devoting herself toG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.

11ButG1161 refuseG3868 to enroll youngerG3501 widowsG5503. ForG1063 whenG3752 their passions draw them awayG2691 from ChristG5547, they will wantG2309 to marryG1060, 12and thus will incurG2192 judgmentG2917 becauseG3754 they are setting asideG114 their firstG4413 faithG4102.
