'Pay' in the Bible

and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause useless speculations rather than God's plan [that is] by faith.

Until I come, pay attention to the [public] reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to show profound respect for their own household first, and to pay back recompense to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
