⁹ Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been ^(A)the wife of one husband,^[a]

² Therefore ^(A)an overseer^[a] must be above reproach, ^(B)the husband of one wife,^{[b] (C)}sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, ^(D)hospitable, ^(E)able to teach,

¹¹ But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when ^(A)their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry

³⁶ And there was ^(A)a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, ³⁷ and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.^[a] She did not depart from the temple, ^(B)worshiping with ^(C)fasting and prayer night and day.

¹⁴ So I would have ^(A)younger widows marry, bear children, ^(B)manage their households, and ^(C)give the adversary no occasion for slander.
