New Living Translation
1 Timothy 5:11-15
11The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical desires will overpower their devotion to Christ and they will want to remarry.
12Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge.
13And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t.
14So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children, and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able to say anything against them.
15For I am afraid that some of them have already gone astray and now follow Satan.
