1 Timothy 5:10

She must be known as a woman who has done good things. I mean good things like raising her children, accepting visitors in her home, washing the feet of God’s people, helping people in trouble, and using her life to do all kinds of good things.

To be added to your list of widows, {\cf2\super [23]} a woman must be 60 years old or older. She must have been faithful to her husband.
