1 Timothy 5:5-7

Contemporary English Version

^5 (A) A widow who is really in need is one who doesn't have any relatives. She has faith in God, and she keeps praying to him night and day, asking for his help.

⁶ A widow who thinks only about having a good time is already dead, even though she is still alive.

⁷ Tell all this to everyone, so they will do the right thing.
