1 Timothy 5:8:
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
(NIV)
If anyone fails to provide for his relatives, and especially for those of his own family, he has disowned the faith [by failing to accompany it with fruits] and is worse than an unbeliever [who performs his obligation in these matters].
(AMP)
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
(KJV)
