1 Timothy 5:11-15

11But do not put the names of younger widows on the list. They may decide to marry again, because they strongly want to have sex. Then they will no longer choose to serve Christ.

12As a result, they will stop doing what they had earlier promised to do for the church. That will make them guilty.

13Young widows may learn to be lazy. They may go around from house to house. Not only do they become lazy, but they talk too much about silly things. They talk wrongly about other people and what they are doing. They say things that they ought not to say.

14So I think that widows who are still young women should marry again. Then they can have children and they can take care of their own homes. If they live well like that, the enemy of God's people will not have a chance to say bad things against us.

15Some of the younger widows have already turned away from Christ, so that they can obey Satan.
