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]

New International Version
1 Timothy 5:10-12
New International Version
10 and is well known for her good deeds,(A) such as bringing up children, showing hospitality,(B) washing the feet(C) of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble(D) and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
11 As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry. 12 Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge.
