1 Timothy 5:9-12

9Any widow who had only one husband and is at least 60 years old should be put on your list ⌞of widows⌟.

10People should tell about the good things she has done: raising children, being hospitable, taking care of believers’ needs, helping the suffering, or always doing good things.

11Don’t include younger widows ⌞on your list⌟. Whenever their natural desires become stronger than their devotion to Christ, they’ll want to marry.

12They condemn themselves by rejecting the Christian faith, the faith they first accepted.
