MLV(i)
5 Now she who really is a widow and has been left alone and has hoped in God and remains in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 But she who is self-indulgent has died, while still living.
7 Also command these things, in order that they may be unimpeachable.
8 But if anyone is not planning-for his own and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Do not let a widow be enrolled who is less than sixty years old, having become the wife of one man, 10 being testified of in good works; if she has reared children, if she was hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the holy-ones’feet, if she has relieved those being afflicted, if she has followed after every good work.
