8If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.
9Let no woman be numbered among the widows who is under sixty years old, and only if she has been the wife of one man,
10And if witness is given of her good works; if she has had the care of children, if she has been kind to travellers, washing the feet of the saints, helping those who are in trouble, giving herself to good works.
11But to the younger widows say No: for when their love is turned away from Christ, they have a desire to be married;
12And they are judged because they have been false to their first faith;
13And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.
14So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,
