1 Timothy 5:11-15

11But refuse to register younger widows, for when they feel 1physical desires alienating them from Christ, they want to get married,

12thereby incurring condemnation, because they have 2ignored their previous pledge.

13At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also they become 3gossips and 4busybodies, talking about 5things not proper to mention.

14Therefore, I want younger widows to get 6married, have children, 7manage their households, and 8give the enemy no opportunity for reproach;

15for some 9have already turned away to follow 10Satan.
