Honor True Widows
3 Honor widows who are really widows. 4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and Gen. 45:10to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, Is. 58:7; 2 Cor. 12:14and especially for those of his household, 2 Tim. 3:5he has denied the faith Matt. 18:17and is worse than an unbeliever.
16 If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.
