1 Timothy 5:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ She must be known for the good she has done: raising children, welcoming travelers into her home, serving the needs^[a] of God’s people, helping those in trouble, and using her life to do all kinds of good.

¹¹ But don’t put younger widows on that list. When their strong physical needs pull them away from their commitment to Christ, they will want to marry again. ¹² Then they will be guilty of not doing what they first promised to do.
