Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁹ Let a widow be put-on-the-list^[a] having become not fewer than sixty years old, a woman of one man^[b], ¹⁰ being attested by good works: if she brought-up-children, if she received-strangers^[c], if she washed the feet of saints, if she aided ones being afflicted, if she followed-after every good work.

But Decline To Include The Young Widows; Let Them Marry

¹¹ But be declining^[d] younger^[e] widows. For when they grow-sensual^[f] against Christ, they want to marry— ¹² having condemnation [upon themselves] because^[g] they set-aside their first pledge. ¹³ And at the same time also they are learning to be idle^[h], while going-around the houses. And not only idle, but also babblers and busybodies— speaking the things not being proper. ¹⁴ Therefore, I want younger widows to marry, to bear-children, to manage-the-house^[i], to give to the one opposing no opportunity for the sake of reviling^[j]. ¹⁵ For some already turned-aside after Satan. ¹⁶ If any believing-woman has widows, let her be aiding them, and let the church not be burdened in order that it may aid the real widows.
