“ Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long time in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

Be filled with joy in the sight of the Lord your God. Be joyful at the special place he will choose for his Name. You, your children, and your male and female servants should be joyful. So should the Levites living in your towns. So should the outsiders and widows living among you. And so should the children whose fathers have died.

He stands up for widows and for children whose fathers have died. He loves outsiders living among you. He gives them food and clothes.

In those days the number of believers was growing. The Greek Jews complained about the non- Greek Jews. They said that the widows of the Greek Jews were not being taken care of. They weren’t getting their fair share of food each day.

“ May anyone who treats unfairly outsiders, widows, and children whose fathers have died be under the Lord’ s curse.” Then all the people will say,“ Amen!”

Then the Levites can come and eat. That’s because they won’t receive any part of the land as their share. The outsiders and widows who live in your towns can come. So can the children whose fathers have died. Everyone can have plenty to eat. Then the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

Be filled with joy at your feast. You, your children, and your male and female servants should be joyful. So should the Levites, the outsiders, and the widows living in your towns. And so should the children whose fathers have died.

Peter went with them. When he arrived, he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him crying. They showed him the robes and other clothes Dorcas had made before she died.

Treat older women as if they were your mothers. Treat younger women as if they were your sisters. Be completely pure in the way you treat them.

But suppose a widow has children or grandchildren. They should first learn to put their faith into practice. They should care for their own family. In that way they will pay back their parents and grandparents. That pleases God.A widow who really needs help and is left all alone puts her hope in God. Night and day she keeps on praying. Night and day she asks God for help.

No widow should be put on the list of widows unless she is more than 60 years old. She must also have been faithful to her husband.She must be well known for the good things she does. That includes bringing up children. It includes inviting guests into her home. It includes washing the feet of the Lord’s people. It includes helping those who are in trouble. A widow should spend her time doing all kinds of good things.Don’t put younger widows on that kind of list. They might want pleasure more than they want Christ. Then they would want to get married again.

God is in his holy temple. He is a father to children whose fathers have died. He takes care of women whose husbands have died.

“ How terrible it will be for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter. And you will not let those enter who are trying to.

‘ Leave your children whose fathers have died. I will keep them alive. Your widows can also depend on me.’ ”

Suppose a woman is a believer and takes care of widows. She should continue to help them. She shouldn’t let the church pay the expenses. Then the church can help the widows who really need it.The elders who do the church’s work well are worth twice as much honor. That is true in a special way of elders who preach and teach.

Then she was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple. She worshiped night and day, praying and going without food.

So they do not need to honor their father or mother with their gift. You make the word of God useless in order to follow your own teachings.

The Lord watches over the outsiders who live in our land. He takes good care of children whose fathers have died. He also takes good care of widows. But he causes evil people to fail in everything they do.

Show proper respect to everyone. Love the family of believers. Have respect for God. Honor the emperor.

Husbands, consider the needs of your wives. They are weaker than you. So treat them with respect. Honor them as those who will share with you the gracious gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers.

They kill outsiders. They kill widows. They murder children whose fathers have died.

Those who were dying gave me their blessing. I made the hearts of widows sing.

“ I haven’t said no to what poor people have wanted. I haven’t let widows lose their hope.

We were not expecting people to praise us. We were not looking for praise from you or anyone else. Yet as Christ’s apostles, we could have used our authority over you.

He approached the town gate. Just then, a dead person was being carried out. He was the only son of his mother. She was a widow. A large crowd from the town was with her.

Here are the beliefs and way of life that God our Father accepts as pure and without fault. When widows are in trouble, take care of them. Do the same for children who have no parents. And don’t let the world make you impure.

Jesus saw Nathanael approaching. Here is what Jesus said about him.“ He is a true Israelite. Nothing about him is false.”
