“Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.”

“But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.”

“The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.”

The widow who is truly helpless and has been abandoned by everyone else puts her faith in the good God, the almighty Heavenly Father, and keeps on worshipping the holy Lord every dawn and every night, asking to shower his blessings upon him. But the widow who is alive for mere amusement and entertainment has already expired even when she is existing. 

Provide the people with these commands so that no one may be subjected to condemnation. Any person who does not take care of his folks, and especially members of his own family, has rejected his belief in the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe, and is eviler than a heathen.

Even the gentlest and the kind-hearted man among you will have no respect for his own brother or the wife he loves so dearly or any of his children who are alive. He will not even offer to any of them the flesh of these children that he is consuming. It will be everything he has left because of the suffering your enemy will impose on you during the siege of your cities. 

Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

“So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

It was that moment when God said that he would make mankind in their image, in His likeness, so that they can establish their rule over the fish swimming in the sea and the birds are flying in the sky and over the livestock and all the animals in the wilderness and over all the other creatures that move along the ground. Hence, God created mankind in his own image and in the image of God. He created them. He created the males and also the females.

“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.”

“At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores”

“And longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.”

“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.”

“In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.”

“So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.”

“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.”

“Give the people these instructions, so that no one may be open to blame.”

“Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

“No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband.”

“And is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.”

The name of no woman should be written down on the list of widows unless she is above sixty years of age, has been completely committed to her partner, and has earned a lot of respect because of her moral deeds and ethics, like nurturing and taking care of her children, displaying warmth and generosity, cleansing the feet of the people of the almighty Heavenly Father, offering help to the people who are suffering and surrendering herself to the service of people. 

But the widows who are younger in age should not be taken into consideration for this list. This is because of the fact that when their sexual thirst prevails over their devotion towards the Son of God, Jesus Christ, they dream of engaging themselves in marriage again. Hence they subject themselves to punishment for they think they have failed to fulfill their first vow. 

Apart from that, they also find themselves involved in the practice of being jobless and visiting one house after another. And not only do they turn sluggish, but they also become like scandalmongers who speak utter rubbish about things that make no sense and about things they should not be gossiping about. 

“Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.”

“If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.”

It is said that women are always needed to keep quiet in the churches. They should always submit to others, as the law says. They are not allowed to speak a word. If they want to ask about something, they should do that in private in their homes and address their questions only to their husbands. It is utterly disrespectful for a woman to say something in the church.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

At the start, there was the Word. The Word belonged to the Lord. The Word was the Lord himself. 

“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.”

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.”

“For Adam was formed first, then Eve.”

“And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.”

“But women will be saved through childbearing – if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”

A female should enhance her knowledge only in silence and complete acquiescence. I will never allow a woman to instruct or to seize control over a man; she must always keep her lips sealed. And this is because of the fact that Adam had been created before Eve. And Adam was not the one who was betrayed; it was Eve, the woman who was misguided and then committed a sin. But the nature of women can be redeemed only if they bear children in their womb – if they stick to their trust in the almighty Heavenly Father, affection, and sanctity with decorum.  

“As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry.”

“Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge.”

“Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to.”

“So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander.”

“Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan.”

“If any woman who is a believer has widows in her care, she should continue to help them and not let the church be burdened with them, so that the church can help those widows who are really in need.”

Offer an adequate amount of acknowledgment to all the widows who are helpless and truly in requirement of security. But if anyone among them has grandchildren and children, before doing anything else, they should educate themselves about the ways in which they could carry out the duties listed in their religion and begin with they could take care of their own family members and therefore they are paying back to their guardians and grandparents, because the almighty Heavenly Father finds this very satisfactory.
