³ show regard to widows that are really such. ^3-8 Take care of widows who are destitute. If a widow has family members to take care of her, let them learn that religion begins at their own doorstep and that they should pay back with gratitude some of what they have received. This pleases God immensely. You can tell a legitimate widow by the way she has put all her hope in God, praying to him constantly for the needs of others as well as her own. But a widow who exploits people's emotions and pocketbooks—well, there's nothing to her. Tell these things to the people so that they will do the right thing in their extended family. Anyone who neglects to care for family members in need repudiates the faith. That's worse than refusing to believe in the first place.

If they ride for the brand, let them take care of their own, tell them to do this. This is how they should honor their mothers and fathers. And plus, God likes it too. ⁵ The widow who is truly in need and left all alone has put her hope in God^(C1) and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers; ⁵ Now she that is a widow in deed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

⁵ Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁵ She ^(f)who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and ^(g)continues in supplications and prayers night and day,⁵ Now she who is actually a ^(C1)widow and has been left alone ^(C2)has set her hope on God, and she continues in ^(C3)requests and prayers night and day. ⁵ The true widow, who is all alone, puts her hope in God and continues to pray night and day for God's help. ⁵ Now she who is a ^(C1)widow indeed and who has been left alone, ^(C2)has fixed her hope on God and continues in ^(C3)entreaties and prayers night and day.⁵ Now she who is a ^(C1)widow indeed and who has been left alone, ^(C2)has fixed her hope on God and continues in ^(C3)petitions and prayers night and day.⁵ The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers. 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. ⁵ Now the widow who is really in need, the one who has been left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

⁵ Now she who [is] a widow indeed, and is left alone, has put [her] hope in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁵ A widow who really needs help is one who has been left all alone. She trusts God to take care of her. She prays all the time, night and day, and asks God for help.⁵ And shee that is a widowe in deede and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and praiers night and day.⁵ Now she who is indeed a widow and destitute, trusts in God, and is constant in prayers and supplications both night and day. ^5 (a)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. ⁵ But the widow who is one truly, and is left alone, has put her hope in God and continues in her petitions and prayers night and day. ⁵ But honor the one being the true widow, even having been left alone, who has set her hope on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.⁵ Now a woman who is ^(C1)really a widow and has been left entirely alone without adequate income ^(C2)trusts in God and continues in ^(C3)supplications and prayers night and day. ⁵ Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁵ Now she who is truly a widow and without family puts her hope in God, giving herself to prayer day and night.⁵ Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day. ⁵ A woman who is really a widow and is left all alone has placed her hope in God and devotes herself to petitions and prayers night and day.[xr] ⁵ But she who is truly a widow and solitary (is one) whose hope is in Aloha, and who persevereth in prayer and in supplication by night and by day.⁵ Now she who is truly a widow, and solitary, her hope is in God; and she persevereth in prayers, and in supplications, by night and by day:⁵ And she that is a wydowe in deede, and left alone, hopeth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers nyght and day.⁵ Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁵ Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day. ⁵ Now she that is a widow indeed and desolate, trusteth in God and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.⁵ A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day;⁵ And sche that is a widewe verili, and desolate, hope in to God, and be bisy in bisechingis and preieris niyt and dai.⁵ Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.⁵ Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁵ But the widow who is truly in need, and completely on her own, has set her hope on God and continues in her pleas and prayers night and day. ⁵ Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

⁵ Now a true widow, a woman who is truly alone in this world, has placed her hope in God. She prays night and day, asking God for his help. ⁵ Women whose husbands have died are alone in this world. Their trust is in the Lord. They pray day and night. ⁵ The real widow, left alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day; ⁵ But, she who is indeed a widow, and is left alone, hath turned her hope towards God, and is giving attendance unto the supplications and the prayers, night and day, - ⁵ But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.⁵ She who is a real widow, and is left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day;⁵ She that is a very wyddowe and frendlesse putteth her trust in god and continueth in supplicacion and prayer nyght and daye.⁵ And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,⁵ And she who is really a widow and desolate, has hoped on God, and remains in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,⁵ But she that is a right wedowe, & desolate, putteth hir trust in God, & cotynueth in prayer and supplicacion nighte and daye.⁵ as for the widow, who is really such, and without any assistance, let her place all her hopes in God, and be assiduous in supplication and prayer. ⁵ If a widow truly is all by herself, I guarantee you she's relying on God to give her a hand. She's been praying every single day and every single night for help. ⁶ however, she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.^{(C1) 6} But she that liueth in pleasure, is dead while she liueth.

⁶ But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. ⁶ but ^(h)she who is self-indulgent is ⁽ⁱ⁾dead even while she lives.⁶ But she who ^(C1)indulges herself in luxury is ^(C2)dead, even while she lives. ⁶ But the widow who uses her life to please herself is really dead while she is alive. ⁶ But she who ^(C1)gives herself to wanton pleasure is ^(C2)dead even while she lives.⁶ But she who ^(C1)lives in self-indulgence is ^(C2)dead even while she lives.⁶ But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.

⁶ A widow who thinks only about having a good time is already dead, even though she is still alive. ⁶ But the one who is self-indulgent is already dead, even though she lives.

⁶ But she that lives in habits of self-indulgence is dead [while] living. ⁶ But the widow who uses her life to please herself is really dead while she is still living.
