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 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.

Show respect for widows who really are all alone.

A widow who is all alone, with no one to take care of her, has placed her hope in God and continues to pray and ask him for his help night and day.
