Apostol § 285ctrb
Do not rebuke an elder, but exhort him as a father, the younger men as brethren, the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity. Honor widows who are widows indeed. But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God. Now she that is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. But she that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. And these things command, that they may be blameless. But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. Let a widow be taken into the number, if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband, and well attested for her good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.
