1 Timothy 5:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ If a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some repayment to their parents; for this is pleasing in God’s sight. ⁵ The real widow, left alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day; ⁶ but the widow^[a] who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.
