1 TIMOTHY 5:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,”
Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years old and has been the wife of one husband — the widows' register (katalegō) established institutional criteria: advanced age (hexekonta eti) and marital monogamy (henos andros gyne). These qualifications presumably indicate stability and wisdom.
