1 Timothy 5:11-15

11But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,

12having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith.

13And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

14Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

15For some have already turned aside after Satan.
