4But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
8But if anyone doesn`t provide for his own, and specially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9Let none be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
10well reported of for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has used hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints` feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.
