1 Timothy 5:4-8 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice their religion in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice their religion in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God. ⁵ Now she who is a real widow, and who has been left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁶ But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. ⁷ Command these things as well, so that they may be above reproach. ⁸ If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
