1 Timothy 5:5-10

Mace(i) 5 as for the widow, who is really such, and without any assistance, let her place all her hopes in God, and be assiduous in supplication and prayer. 6 the widow of pleasure is dead tho' she lives. 7 these things recommend to them, that they may be without reproach. 8 he that takes no care of his relations, especially those of his own family, has renounc'd the faith and is worse than an infidel. 9 Let none be put upon the list of widows, but such as are at least threescore years of age, and have been married but once: 10 such as have been recommended by their good actions, by the education of their children, by their hospitality, by their officiousness to the faithful, by relieving the afflicted, and by the practice of every virtue.
