1 Timothy 5:3-5

3Honor widows who are truly in need.

4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn to fulfill their duty toward their own household and so repay their parents what is owed them. For this is what pleases God.

5But the widow who is truly in need, and completely on her own, has set her hope on God and continues in her pleas and prayers night and day.
