Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Timothy 5:4-8

4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
5The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.
6But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.
7Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach.
8If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
— 1 Timothy 5:4-8
