1 Timothy 5:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Honour widows, that are widows indeed.

⁴ But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God.

⁵ But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.
