They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,

because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
