1 Timothy 5:8-16 And if anyone provides not for his own and specially for those of his own house, he denies the trust and is worse than the trustless.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ And if anyone provides not for his own and specially for those of his own house, he denies the trust and is worse than the trustless. ⁹ Enroll not a widow at less than sixty years: having been the woman of one man ¹⁰ witnessed in good works; if she fostered children, if she lodged strangers, if she washed the feet of the holy, if she relieved the tribulated, if she diligently followed every good work. ¹¹ But shun the younger widows: for whenever they sensualize against Messiah they will to marry; ¹² having judgment, because they set aside their first trust: ¹³ and simultaneously they learn to be idle wandering about the houses: and not only idle, but also babblers and overworking; speaking what they must not. ¹⁴ So I will that the younger marry, birth children, be housedespotes; giving no opportunity to cause the adversary to speak abusively. ¹⁵ For some are already turned aside after Satan. ¹⁶ If any trustworthy ^* or trustworthy ^** have widows, relieve them and burden not the ecclesia; that it relieve them who are widows indeed. ^{*masculine; **feminine}
