1 TIMOTHY 5:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.”
and is well attested for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, helped the afflicted, and devoted herself to doing good — the widow's qualification rests on demonstrated virtue across five domains: rearing children, practicing philoxenia (hospitality), performing humble service (foot-washing), alleviating suffering, and general benevolence. Character, not merely circumstance, determines inclusion.
