Contemporary English Version Anglicised

1 Timothy 5:3-7 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3. Take care of any widow who is really in need.

4. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn to serve God by taking care of her, as she once took care of them. This is what God wants them to do.

5. A widow who is really in need is one who doesn't have any relatives. She has faith in God, and she keeps praying to him night and day, asking for his help.

6. A widow who thinks only about having a good time is already dead, even though she is still alive.

7. Tell all this to everyone, so they will do the right thing.
