1 Timothy 5:8 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

6 Mas a que se entrega aos prazeres, enquanto vive, está morta.

7 Manda, pois, essas coisas, para que sejam irrepreensíveis.

8 Porém, se alguém não cuida dos seus, e principalmente dos de sua própria família, negou a fé, e é pior que um incrédulo.

9 A viúva, para ser registrada, não deve ter menos de sessenta anos, e haver sido mulher de um marido.

10 Ela deve ter testemunho de boas obras: se criou filhos, se foi hospitaleira, se lavou os pés dos santos, se socorreu os aflitos, se seguiu toda boa obra.
