1 Timothy 5:4-8 If any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to act piously toward their own family and to repay what they owe to their parents and grandparents. For this is pleasing in the sight of God.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ If any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to act piously toward their own family and to repay what they owe to their parents and grandparents. For this is pleasing in the sight of God. ⁵ A real widow who is left alone has set her hope on God and devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day. ⁶ But the pleasure-loving widow, though living, is already dead. ⁷ Give these commands that they may be free from reproach. ⁸ If any one does not provide for his own, and especially those of his own household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
