1 Timothy 5:5-7
Living Bible
5 The church should care for widows who are poor and alone in the world if they are looking to God for his help and spending much time in prayer; 6 but not if they are spending their time running around gossiping, seeking only pleasure and thus ruining their souls. 7 This should be your church rule so that the Christians will know and do what is right.

5 The widow who is really in need(A) and left all alone puts her hope in God(B) and continues night and day to pray(C) and to ask God for help. 6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.(D) 7 Give the people these instructions,(E) so that no one may be open to blame.
