1 Timothy 3:5; 1 Timothy 3:15; 1 Timothy 5:16

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
