New American Standard Bible 1995

1 Timothy 5:3-5

3Honor widows who are 1widows indeed;

4but if any widow has children or grandchildren, 2they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to 3make some return to their parents; for this is 4acceptable in the sight of God.

5Now she who is a 5widow indeed and who has been left alone, 6has fixed her hope on God and continues in 7entreaties and prayers night and day.
