“But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.”
But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God — the familial obligation (tekna ē egona) of providing materially and demonstrating eusebeia (godliness) toward parents precedes the church's responsibility. Divine approval (euareston) attends such filial devotion.
