'Widow' in the Bible

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.

A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day;

but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive.

No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age.
