1 Timothy 5:3-6

3Honor widows who are actually 1widows;

4but if any widow has children or grandchildren, 2they must first learn to show proper respect for their own family and to give back compensation to their parents; for this is 3acceptable in the sight of God.

5Now she who is actually a 4widow and has been left alone 5has set her hope on God, and she continues in 6requests and prayers night and day.

6But she who 7indulges herself in luxury is 8dead, even while she lives.
