Taking Care of your Family

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good. …

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.

Yet you ask, “Why?” It is because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have broken faith, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.
