1 Timothy 5: 3 - 10
3Honor widows who are real widows.4If a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.5She who is a real widow, and is left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day;6whereas she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.7Command this, so that they may be without reproach.8If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.9Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband;10and she must be well attested for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved the afflicted, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.
