To fail to do so has definite spiritual consequences. “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever” (1 Timothy 5:8).
Kwa kushindwa kufanya hivyo ina madhara maalum ya kiroho. "Lakini mtu ye yote asiyewatunza walio wake, yaani wale wa numbani mwake hasa, ameikana Imani, tena ni mbaya kuliko mtu asiyeamini" (1 Timotheo 5:8).
