1 Timothy 5:3-8
21st Century King James Version
3 Honor widows who are truly widows.
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety at home and to requite their parents, for that is good and acceptable before God.
5 Now she that is indeed a widow, and desolate, trusteth in God and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 And these things charge them, that they may be blameless.
8 But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.

1 Timothy 5:3-8
American Standard Version
3 Honor widows that are widows indeed. 4 But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God. 5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7 These things also command, that they may be without reproach. 8 But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
