1 Timothy 5:2-4

Amplified Bible

² to older women as mothers, to younger women as sisters, in all purity [being careful to maintain appropriate relationships].

³ Honor and help those widows who are truly widowed [alone, and without support]. ⁴ But if a widow has children or grandchildren [who are adults], see to it that these first learn to show great respect to their own family [as their religious duty and natural obligation], and to compensate their parents or grandparents [for their upbringing]; for this is acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God.
