What does the Bible say about widows in church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible instructs the church to honor and support widows who are truly in need, known as 'widows indeed.'

In 1 Timothy 5:3-16, the Apostle Paul provides specific instructions regarding the support of widows by the church. He distinguishes between 'widows indeed'—those who are genuinely in need and have no means of support—and those who may not require church assistance. A widow indeed is someone who is desolate and utterly dependent on God's provision, and she must be a believing woman who continues in prayers and supplications. The church is called to support these widows, while also encouraging family members to care for their own.
