Nehemiah 5:1-5
Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews.For there were some who said,“ We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live.”There were also some who said,“ We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine.”There were also some who said,“ We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral.Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Behold, we bring our sons and our daughters into bondage to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. It is also not in our power to help it, because other men have our fields and our vineyards.”

1 Samuel 1 4-1 Samuel 1 8
When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;but to Hannah he gave a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb.Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.So year by year, when she went up to Yahweh’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.Elkanah her husband said to her,“ Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

Ephesians 5:25-33
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.“ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

1 Timothy 5 8
But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
