1 Timothy 5:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ ·Take care of [Provide support for; or Honor; Show respect to; ^Cboth honor and financial help are likely in mind] widows who are truly widows. ⁴ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to ·do their duty to [or practice their piety/godliness toward] their own ·family [household] and to repay their parents or grandparents. [^LFor] That pleases God. ⁵ The true widow, who is all alone, puts her hope in God and continues ·to pray night and day for God’s help [^Lin petitions and prayers night and day].
