When discussing what material provisions should be made for elderly widows in the congregation, the apostle Paul wrote: “If anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith. ”
قال الرسول بولس في الحديث عن المساعَدات المادية التي يجب ان تقدَّم للارامل المسنات في الجماعة :‏ « إنْ كان احد لا يعول خاصته ،‏ وخصوصا اهل بيته ،‏ فقد انكر الايمان كليا وهو اسوأ من غير المؤمن » .‏
