Charity - Charity begins at home

Postby dreams » Fri Oct 31, 2003 10:23 pm

Meaning: A man should take care of his own family before venturing to give charity to others.

1 Tim. 5:8
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.

John Wyclif (1380) "Charite shuld bigyne at hemself."
