But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

1. Provide - List the things which a man MUST provide for his family. List some things that are NOT required to be provided.

2. His own - Who are included in this term? Does this include in-laws?

3. House - Who are covered by this word?

4. Faith - What is the faith mentioned in this verse? Does this mean the person has stopped believing in God? How does one "deny" their faith?

5. Worse - Are some sins worse than others? Are there degrees to sin?

6. Infidel - What is an infidel? How can a Christian, believer, be an infidel?
