2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity." 3 2 Honour 2 widows that are widows indeed.

4 But if any widow have children or 3 nephews 3, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents 5: dfor that is B good and ẞ acceptable before God.

7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, m and is worse than an infidel.

9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, "having been the wife of one man,

10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to 7 wax wanton against 7 Christ, they will marry 8 12 Having 9 damnation, because 9 they have cast off their first faith.

13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
