1 Timothy 5:6 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

4 Si une veuve a des enfants ou des petits-enfants, qu’ils apprennent avant tout à exercer la piété envers leur propre famille, et à rendre à leurs parents ce qu’ils ont reçu d’eux; car cela est agréable à Dieu.

5 Celle qui est véritablement veuve, et qui est demeurée dans l’isolement, met son espérance en Dieu et persévère nuit et jour dans les supplications et les prières.

6 Mais celle qui vit dans les plaisirs est morte, quoique vivante.

7 Déclare-leur ces choses, afin qu’elles soient irréprochables.

8 Si quelqu’un n’a pas soin des siens, et principalement de ceux de sa famille, il a renié la foi, et il est pire qu’un infidèle.
