1 Timothy 5:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

² to older women as mothers, to younger women as sisters—with absolute purity.

³ Honour widows who are really widows. ⁴ If a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some repayment to their parents; for this is pleasing in God’s sight.
