'Family' in the Bible

He must manage his own family well and have children who are submissive and respectful in every way.

For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?

Honor widows who have no other family members to care for them.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to practice godliness toward their own family first and to repay their parents, for this pleases God.

A woman who has no other family members to care for her and who is left all alone has placed her hope in God and devotes herself to petitions and prayers night and day.

If anyone does not take care of his own relatives, especially his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

If any woman is a believer and has relatives who are widows, she should help them. The church should not be burdened, so it can help those widows who have no other family members to care for them.
