5:16If a believing woman26 has widows in her family,27 let her help them. The church should not be burdened, so that it may help the widows who are truly in need.28
Footnotes
- 26 Most witnesses (D Ψ 𝔐 sy) have πιστὸς ἤ (pistos ē) before πιστή (pistē), with the resultant meaning “if a believing man or woman.” But such looks to be a motivated reading, perhaps to bring some parity to the responsibilities of men and women listed here, and as a way of harmonizing with v. 4. Further, most of the earliest and best witnesses (א A C F G P 048 33 81 1175 1739 1881 co) lack the πιστὸς ἤ, strengthening the preference for the shorter reading.
- 27 Grk “has widows.”
- 28 Grk “the real widows,” “those who are really widows.”
