1 Timothy 5:11-14 ▼

11 But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when they are drawn away from Christ by desire, they want to marry

12 and will therefore receive condemnation because they have renounced their original pledge.

13 At the same time, they also learn to be idle, going from house to house; they are not only idle, but are also gossips and busybodies, saying things they shouldn’t say.

14 Therefore, I want younger women to marry, have children, manage their households, and give the adversary no opportunity to accuse us.
