“Honour widows that are widows indeed.”
Honor widows who are truly widows — the apodictic command (timā) to honor widows reflects both OT precedent and early Christian social practice. The qualifier ontos chērēs (truly/really widows) distinguishes those genuinely bereft from those with family support or security.
