1 Timothy 5:9-12

9No widow is to be enrolled on the list for support unless she is at least sixty years old, has been the wife of one husband,

10and is well known for good works  — that is, if she has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the saints’ feet, helped the afflicted, and devoted herself to every good work.

11But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when they are drawn away from Christ by desire, they want to marry

12and will therefore receive condemnation because they have renounced their original pledge.
