1 Timothy 5:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 Honor widows who are actually (A)widows; 4 but if any widow has children or grandchildren, (B)they must first learn to show proper respect for their own family and to give back compensation to their parents; for this is (C)acceptable in the sight of God. 5 Now she who is actually a (D)widow and has been left alone (E)has set her hope on God, and she continues in (F)requests and prayers night and day. 6 But she who (G)indulges herself in luxury is (H)dead, even while she lives. 7 [a](I)Give these instructions as well, so that they may be above reproach. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has (J)denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1 Timothy 5:3-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Provide Church Support For Real Widows Attested By Faith And Good Works
3 Be honoring widows— the real[a] widows. 4 Now if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to reverence[b] their own household and to give-back a return to their ancestors. For this is acceptable[c] in the sight of God. 5 But the one who is a real widow and has been left-alone[d] has put her hope upon God, and continues-in petitions and prayers by night and by day. 6 But the one living-indulgently is-dead while living. 7 Indeed be commanding these things in order that they may be above-reproach. 8 But if anyone does not provide-for his own relatives, and especially family-members, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
