Selah · Bible verse
1 Timothy 5:4
But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
In context
2the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3Honor widows who are widows indeed.
4But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
