1 Timothy 5:14-16
New King James Version
14 Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some have already turned aside after Satan. 16 If any believing [a]man or woman has widows, let them [b]relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.
