4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn ato show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for bthis is pleasing in the sight of God. 5She cwho is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and dcontinues in supplications and prayers night and day,

Or a woman of one man
10and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has gshown hospitality, hhas washed the feet of the saints, has icared for the afflicted, and has jdevoted herself to every good work.
