1 Timothy 5:8

Plain and direct we are to take care of those who are unable to care for themselves especially members of our own family. If we are to follow God’s commands we are to be doers of His word not just hearers. Love one another as Christ has loved you!


A believer is to provide for his own (his near relatives) and his household (his immediate family). Failure to provide for one’s family is equal to denial of the faith. If a Christian cannot even care for his or her own family, how can that person sincerely love and care for others? Some unbelievers take better care of their families than believers do.

1 Timothy 5:8

8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
