1 Timothy 5:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 If there be any that provideth not for his own, and namely for them of his household, he denieth the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 [a]Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, that hath been the wife of [b]one husband.
10 And well reported of for good works: if she have nourished her children, if she have lodged the strangers, if she have [c]washed the Saints’ feet, if she have ministered unto them which were in adversity, if she were continually given unto every good work.
