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.
Read 1 Timothy 5:11 Using Other Translations
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry
The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical desires will overpower their devotion to Christ and they will want to remarry.
