Scripture Content
Honor widows who are truly widows. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God. Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.
