ABU(i)
8 But if any one provides not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Let not one be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, having been the wife of one husband;
10 well reported of for good works; if she brought up children, if she lodged strangers, if she washed the feet of the saints, if she relieved the afflicted, if she diligently followed every good work.
11 But younger widows refuse; for when they have become wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
12 having condemnation, because they broke their first faith.
13 And at the same time they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busy-bodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 I desire therefore that younger widows marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For already, some turned aside after Satan.
16 If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve those who are widows indeed.
