1 Timothy 5:11-14

New Revised Standard NRS

11 But refuse to put younger widows on the list; for when their sensual desires alienate them from Christ, they want to marry,

12 and so they incur condemnation for having violated their first pledge.

13 Besides that, they learn to be idle, gadding about from house to house; and they are not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not say.

14 So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, and manage their households, so as to give the adversary no occasion to revile us.

New International Version NIV

11 As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry.

12 Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge.

13 Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to.

14 So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander.
