Read 1 Timothy 5:8 in the NABRE onlineBut if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Reflection
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith. Paul is blunt: providing for your family is not optional, and failing to do it is not a minor lapse. Work that feeds your household is holy work.
