Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Washing of the feet o their friends was a part of their entertainments. If she have relieved the afflicted when she had ability, let her be relieved now. Observe, Those who would find mercy when they are in distress must show mercy when they are in prosperity.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Eze 16:49, is to be diligent in good works, such as "relieving the afflicted," 1Ti 5:10, thus qualifying herself for being afterwards a widow-presbyteress). let them--rather as Greek, "let him," or "her"; "let such a one" (1Ti 5:10). be charged--literally, "be burdened" with their support. widows indeed--really helpless and friendless (1Ti 5:3, 4).
