9 Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been ⁿthe wife of one husband,¹ 10 and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has ⁿshown hospitality, ^ohas washed the feet of the saints, has ^pcared for the afflicted, and has ^qdevoted herself to every good work.

14 So I would have ^uyounger widows marry, bear children, ^vmanage their households, and ^wgive the adversary no occasion for slander.
