1 Timothy 5:3-5

3Honour widows who are really widows;

4but if any widow have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious as regards their own house, and to render a return on their side to [their] parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of 1God.

5Now she who [is] a widow indeed, and is left alone, has put [her] hope in 2God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
