¹⁶ If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.

³ honour widows who are really widows;

⁴ and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

⁵ And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,

⁸ and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
