But you teach that if people have something they could use to help their father or mother, but say, 'This belongs to God,'

You also teach, 'If someone swears by the altar, he isn't bound by his vow; but if he swears by the gift on the altar, he is bound.'

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn first to carry out their religious duties toward their own family and in this way repay their parents and grandparents, because that is what pleases God.

But a widow who gives herself to pleasure has already died, even though she lives.

But if any do not take care of their relatives, especially the members of their own family, they have denied the faith and are worse than an unbeliever.
