1 Timothy 5:16
KJV:
If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
BSB:
If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.
Greek:
εἴ τις πιστὸς πιστὴ ἔχει χήρας, ἐπαρκείτω αὐταῖς καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἐκκλησία, ἵνα ταῖς ὄντως χήραις ἐπαρκέσῃ.¶
