1 Tim. 5:4‑8• 4But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
 5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
 6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
 7And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

• {v.11-13} A man sees his father and mother in want; he has received in earthly goods that which would relieve them, but the tradition-mongers have invented a plan to benefit religion so called at the cost of filial duty. If one said “Corban” the duty was totally changed, and that which would have been due to the parent must now be devoted to the priest. No matter what the need of father and mother, that word “Corban” stopped all action of heart or conscience. The leaders had devised the scheme to secure property for religious purposes.
