== Many Christians would seek to follow the wisdom contained in the following verses. They would also seek to be content with what they have and to use whatever they have in the way of wealth for the glory of God not for their own personal pleasure, knowing that they themselves have been bought with a great price, the precious blood of Jesus.
7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

| ; Matthew 6 : 31, 34 : Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ... Take therefore no thought for the morrow. ; Yes, they should be.
; 1 Timothy 5 : 8 : But if any provide not for his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. Answer The definition of the word 'concerned' is important in answering the question.
If it means 'show an interest in' then obviously Christians must care for their family and not ignore their material needs.
If the word 'concerned' means something similar to 'be consumed by' or 'set a very high priority on' then the answer is obviously no.
Thus, the scripture does not contradict itself when read in context. The verse from Jesus in Matthew 6 was addressing those who were to have an excessive concern for material things and crowd out spiritual values. The verse from 1 Timothy 5 addresses those who were possibly neglecting their familial responsibilities.
