    9A widow should be enrolled only if she is at least sixty years old and has been faithful to one husband,

    10and is well known for her good works: if she has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, helped those in affliction, and devoted herself to every good work.

    11But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their physical desires draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry,

    12and they bring judgment on themselves for breaking their first pledge.

    14Therefore, I desire that younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander.
