1 Timothy 5:3-9

3Honor widows who have no families.

4The children or grandchildren of a widow must first learn to respect their own family by repaying their parents. This is pleasing in God’s sight.

5A widow who has no family has placed her confidence in God by praying and asking for his help night and day.

6But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead although she is still alive.

7Insist on these things so that widows will have good reputations.

8If anyone doesn’t take care of his own relatives, especially his immediate family, he has denied the Christian faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

9Any widow who had only one husband and is at least 60 years old should be put on your list ⌞of widows⌟.
