1 Timothy 5:14-16
New Testament for Everyone
14 So this is my wish: the younger ones should marry, have children, run their households and give the enemy no opportunity to slander us 15 (some, you see, have already gone off after the satan!) 16 If any believing woman has relatives who are widowed, let her help them, so that the church won’t be burdened. That way, it can help widows who really are widows.
