1 Timothy 5

⁴ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.

⁵ The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.

⁶ But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.

⁸ If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
