Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 5:3 - Widows Indeed

Notice that he said that we are honor widows who are “widows indeed.” What’s the difference between a widow and a widow indeed? Not all widows are fully alone and without means. They may have family close by or even in the same home. They and their husbands may have been good stewards and she may have a secure retirement income. Widows indeed are the ones who are widows in need.
