to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.Now we command and exhort such persons in the Lord Jesus Christ to work peacefully and eat their own bread.

Rise up, you women who are at ease, And hear my voice; Listen to my word, You complacent daughters.Within a year and a few days You will be troubled, you complacent daughters; For the vintage is ended, And the fruit gathering will not come.Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent daughters; Strip, undress, and put sackcloth on your waist,

and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we instructed you,

While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother’s brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.

And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi,“ Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain following one in whose eyes I may find favor.” And she said to her,“ Go, my daughter.”So she left and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came to draw water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

Moreover, the Lord said,“ Because the daughters of Zion are haughty And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And jingle the anklets on their feet,The Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the Lord will make their foreheads bare.”On that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,dangling earrings, bracelets, veils,headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets,finger rings, nose rings,festive robes, outer garments, shawls, purses,papyrus garments, undergarments, headbands, and veils.Now it will come about that instead of balsam oil there will be a stench; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well set hair, a plucked out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a robe of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.

And she said,“ Drink, my lord”; then she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink.Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said,“ I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking.”So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, and ran back to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.

Behold, I am standing by the spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;now may it be that the young woman to whom I say,‘ Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and who answers,‘ Drink, and I will water your camels also’— may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said,“ Quickly, prepare three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread cakes.”Abraham also ran to the herd, and took a tender and choice calf and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree as they ate.

So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz in order to glean until the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother in law.

So Peter got ready and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the room upstairs; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said,“ Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, have children, manage their households, and give the enemy no opportunity for reproach;
