1 Timothy 5:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ If a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to carry out their religious duty to their own family and repay their debt to their parents, for this is pleasing in the eyes of God.

⁵ However, a widow who is truly in need and is alone in the world places all her trust in God and never ceases her prayers and supplications night and day. ⁶ But the widow who is interested solely in pleasure is dead even while she lives.
