1 Timothy 5:7-13

7And these thingsG3778 enjoin, that they may beG1510 irreproachable.

8But if any oneG5100 does not provide for his ownG2398, and specially for those of [his] house, he has deniedG720 the faithG4102, and isG1510 worse than the unbelieverG571.

9Let a widowG5503 be put upon the list, being of not less than sixtyG1835 yearsG2094, [having been] wifeG1135 of oneG1520 manG435,

10borne witnessG3140 to in goodG18 worksG2041, if she have brought up children, if she have exercised hospitality, if she have washedG3538 saints' feetG4228, if she have imparted relief to the distressed, if she have diligently followed every goodG18 workG2041.

11But younger widowsG5503 decline; for whenG3752 they grow wanton against ChristG5547, they desireG2309 to marryG1060,

12being guilty, because they have cast off their firstG4413 faithG4102.

13And, at the sameG260 timeG260, they learnG3129 alsoG2532 [to be] idleG692, going about to people's housesG3614; and not onlyG3440 idleG692, but alsoG2532 gossipers and meddlers, speakingG2980 things not becoming.
