1 Timothy 5:4-8

Mace(i) 4 if a widow has children or grand-children, let them above all things instruct their own family to be religious, and let them be grateful to their parents, for this is acceptable to God. 5 as for the widow, who is really such, and without any assistance, let her place all her hopes in God, and be assiduous in supplication and prayer. 6 the widow of pleasure is dead tho' she lives. 7 these things recommend to them, that they may be without reproach. 8 he that takes no care of his relations, especially those of his own family, has renounc'd the faith and is worse than an infidel.
