Honor widows who are truly in need.

In this way they will save up a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the future and so lay hold of what is truly life.

But the widow who is truly in need, and completely on her own, has set her hope on God and continues in her pleas and prayers night and day.

If a believing woman has widows in her family, let her help them. The church should not be burdened, so that it may help the widows who are truly in need.
