5The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.
6But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.

9A widow should be enrolled if she is at least sixty years old, the wife of one man,
10and well known for good deeds such as bringing up children, entertaining strangers, washing the feet of the saints, imparting relief to the afflicted, and devoting herself to every good work.
