These are from the letters of PAUL, not Jesus. The first was a letter to the church at Ephesus, where he worked frequently. The second is a letter to the Thessalonians, and is a restatement by Paul of an old Jewish Proverb.

The most interesting one is from Timothy. You are ignoring the situation that Paul addresses to Timothy. It was concerning the issue of community support for widows. The widow is encouraged to make positive contributions to the church's ministry.

The passage reflects a fairly advanced system of care--a "roll" or "list" of widows eligible for support (v. 9). But the system was being abused; families of widows were not shouldering their responsibility, thus placing financial strain on the church. Then certain younger widows, who may have managed to get on the list, were threatening the church's reputation by involvement with the false teaching and scandalous behavior. The instructions address three related topics: the identification of the honorable widow, family responsibility for widows, young widows. Which goes along with what I've been saying all along. Socialism is a great way to govern, but it can't work all by itself. There has to be a medium between capitalism and socialism. You conservatives on here continue to ignore me saying that.
