Bible Question:
CDJB, Greetings brother. Could you add a little insight on 1 Timothy 5:8. Does this refer to ones immediate family, or spiritual family as well? It's a subject I'm currently wrestling with and am trying to understand better. In Him, lionheart |
Bible Answer: This chapter is speaking in reference to the actual logistical structure in handling the church members (in most of this widows). Directly here the widows should be supported by the head of the household if he is a member of the church and able to support her. In 1Tim 5:4 it specifically speaks to the children or grandchildren providing for thier widowed mother. This is all in context of the logistical grace support that God has ordained in the administration of the Family structure. |
