The whole interlinear chapter
1 Tim. 5:9      1 Tim. 5:11

First letter to Timothy 5:10

She should be known for good (honorable) deeds:
raising children [her own, or caring for orphans],
showing hospitality,
washing the feet of the saints [being willing to serve others],
helping those in need
and using every opportunity to do good.
[It is not entirely clear whether these church widows also received support. Perhaps they also had a function in the church; verse 5 mentions the ministry of intercession. There are tomb inscriptions from Rom, albeit a few hundred years later, which state that a church widow named Regina was not a burden to the church. Another argument for the widows not only being cared for but also having a function is the various qualifications that the widow is expected to have. Various qualifications are also mentioned for elders and deacons, the clearest parallel being "the wife of one husband." A Syrian text from the early 200s, Didascalia Apostolorum, regulates various functions in the congregation. It prohibits women from teaching, especially widows. This suggests that widows did in fact teach and that the text seeks to prevent this from happening.]
