1 Timothy 5:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ She must be well known for her good actions as a woman who has raised children, welcomed strangers, washed the saints’ feet, helped the suffering, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

¹¹ But do not include younger widows on your list.^[a] For whenever their natural desires cause them to lose their devotion to the Messiah,^[b] they want to remarry. ¹² They receive condemnation because they have set aside their prior commitment to the Messiah.^[c]
