(Lesson 2145)(10-21-17) 1 Timothy 5:4-7
“But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.”
Today’s quote tells us that if a woman is widowed, if she has sons or daughters, or neices and nephews, they are to be responsible for her after her husband is deceased. However, if a widow loses her husband and has no sons, daughters, neices or nephews, the church is to see to her welfare. However, the church is to care for her ONLY if a widow remains devoted to the church her faith in God.~
