WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day; ⁶ but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive. ⁷ Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives free from reproach. ⁸ But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is behaving worse than an unbeliever. ⁹ No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age. ¹⁰ She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.
