Let no one look down on your youth, but be an example for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Let a widow be put on the list [if she] is not less than sixty years [old], the wife of one husband,

the [one who] alone possesses immortality, who lives [in] unapproachable light, whom no human being has seen nor is able to see, to whom [be] honor and eternal power. Amen.
