1 Timothy 5:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to ·do their duty to [or practice their piety/godliness toward] their own ·family [household] and to repay their parents or grandparents. [^LFor] That pleases God. ⁵ The true widow, who is all alone, puts her hope in God and continues ·to pray night and day for God’s help [^Lin petitions and prayers night and day]. ⁶ But the widow who ·uses her life to please herself [lives in luxury; is self-indulgent] is really dead while she is alive.
