1 Timothy 5:5-8

New International Version

⁵ The widow who is really in need^(A) and left all alone puts her hope in God^(B) and continues night and day to pray^(C) and to ask God for help. ⁶ But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.^{(D) 7} Give the people these instructions,^(E) so that no one may be open to blame. ⁸ Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied^(F) the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
