1 Timothy 5:2-6

to the older women as mothers, and to the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

Honor widows who are actually widows;

but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show proper respect for their own family and to give back compensation to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

Now she who is actually a widow and has been left alone has set her hope on God, and she continues in requests and prayers night and day.

But she who indulges herself in luxury is dead, even while she lives.
