Helping Widows

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.

Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

…and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday.
