1 Timothy 5:6-8
Living Bible
6 but not if they are spending their time running around gossiping, seeking only pleasure and thus ruining their souls. 7 This should be your church rule so that the Christians will know and do what is right.
8 But anyone who won’t care for his own relatives when they need help, especially those living in his own family, has no right to say he is a Christian. Such a person is worse than the heathen.

1 Timothy 5:6-8
New International Version
6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.(A) 7 Give the people these instructions,(B) so that no one may be open to blame. 8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied(C) the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
