1 Timothy 5:8 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

6 Pero la que vive en delicias, viviendo está muerta.

7 Denuncia pues estas cosas, para que sean sin reprensión.

8 Y si alguno no tiene cuidado de los suyos, y mayormente de los de su casa, la fe negó, y es peor que un infiel.

9 La viuda sea puesta en clase [especial], no menos que de sesenta años, que haya sido esposa de un [solo] marido.

10 Que tenga testimonio en buenas obras; si crió hijos; si ha ejercitado la hospitalidad; si ha lavado los pies de los santos; si ha socorrido á los afligidos; si ha seguido toda buena obra.
