1 Timothy 5:3-8

3Honor widows who are really widows.

4But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.

5Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

6But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

7And these things command, that they may be blameless.

8But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
