A leader must be free from blame. He must be faithful to his wife. In anything he does, he must not go too far. He must control himself. He must be worthy of respect. He must welcome people into his home. He must be able to teach.

Don’t put younger widows on that kind of list. They might want pleasure more than they want Christ. Then they would want to get married again.

Take care of the widows who really need help.But suppose a widow has children or grandchildren. They should first learn to put their faith into practice. They should care for their own family. In that way they will pay back their parents and grandparents. That pleases God.

There was also a prophet named Anna. She was the daughter of Penuel from the tribe of Asher. Anna was very old. After getting married, she lived with her husband seven years.Then she was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple. She worshiped night and day, praying and going without food.

A woman has to stay married to her husband as long as he lives. If he dies, she is free to marry anyone she wants to. But the one she marries must belong to the Lord.In my opinion, she is happier if she stays single. And I also think that I am led by the Spirit of God in saying this.

So here is the advice I give to younger widows. Get married. Have children. Take care of your own homes. Don’t give the enemy the chance to tell lies about you.

A deacon must be faithful to his wife. He must manage his children and family well.

I give a command to those who are married. It is a direct command from the Lord, not from me. A wife must not leave her husband.But if she does, she must not get married again. Or she can go back to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
