1 Timothy 5:8 is one of the most abused and mis-applied verses in the Bible. First the Greek text:
Εἰ δέ τις τῶν ἰδίων καὶ μάλιστα οἰκείων οὐ προνοεῖ, τὴν πίστιν ἤρνηται, καὶ ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων.
“⁸But if someone of their own family, and especially of their immediate relatives, is not providing for them, he has denied the faith, and is worse than a non-believer.” (This phrase “their own family, and especially of their immediate relatives” is plural, so the referent, and subject, is plural, and not τις, which is singular.)

The context and the topic both before and after this verse, is widows. “³Support financially the widows who are truly bereft. ⁴But if a widow has children or grandchildren, those should practice godliness toward their own family first, and give back in repayment to their parents. For this is pleasing in the sight of God.”

The passage is teaching that the children and grandchildren have a Christian obligation to provide food and clothing to their widowed mother or grandmother. If those children and grandchildren do not do so, THEY are the ones who have denied the faith and are worse than a non-believer.

But this verse has been stretched to somehow mean that a married man has to provide wealth for his family by modern standards, rather than “food and clothing,” the Biblical standard mentioned in this epistle in 1 Timothy 6:8 and elsewhere. Is it rightly dividing scripture to have 1 Timothy 6:8 say “And having food and clothing let us be content with that,” and yet tell married men that this verse here says they are obligated to provide their wife and children a 3 bedroom house, cars, a university education, etc.? No it is not. The context and subject of this verse is still widows. The next verse continues talking about widows. It is about providing food and clothing to widows.

Part of being a disciple of Christ and following Christ is that we are travelers and strangers on the earth, not having wealth and roots in this world, and being content with food and clothing. Jesus said to those who wanted to follow him, that the Son of Man has no place to lay his head. Christian wives are expected to have the values of a disciple too, they are not exempt just because they are female.
