3. Honour —by setting on the church roll, as fit objects of charitable sustenance ( 1 Timothy 5:9 ; 1 Timothy 5:17 ; 1 Timothy 5:18 ; Acts 6:1 ). So "honor" is used for support with necessaries ( Matthew 15:4 ; Matthew 15:6 ; Acts 28:10 ). widows indeed — ( Acts 28:10- : ). Those really desolate; not like those ( Acts 28:10- : ) having children or relations answerable for their support, nor like those (in 1 Timothy 5:6 ) "who live in pleasure"; but such as, from their earthly desolation as to friends, are most likely to trust wholly in God, persevere in continual prayers, and carry out the religious duties assigned to Church widows ( 1 Timothy 5:5 ). Care for widows was transferred from the Jewish economy to the Christian ( Deuteronomy 14:29 ; Deuteronomy 16:11 ; Deuteronomy 24:17 ; Deuteronomy 24:19 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
