1 Timoteo 5:13

Listen to 1 Timoteo 5:13
13 Y, si están en la lista, se acostumbrarán a ser perezosas y pasarán todo el tiempo yendo de casa en casa chismeando, entrometiéndose en la vida de los demás y hablando de lo que no deben.

1 Timoteo 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 5:13

And withal they learn to be idle
Being at ease, and without labour, living at the expense of the church: "wandering about from house to house"; having nothing else to do: such an one is what the Jews F26 call (tybbwv hnmla) , "the gadding widow"; who, as the gloss says,

``goes about and visits her neighbours continually; and these are they that corrupt the world.''

Of this sort of women must the Jews be understood, when they say {a}, it is one of the properties of them to be (twynauwy) "going out", or gadding abroad, as Dinah did; and that it is another to be (twyrbd) , "talkative", which agrees with what follows:

and not only idle, but tattlers also;
full of talk, who have always some news to tell, or report to make of the affairs of this, or the other person, or family:

and busy bodies;
in the matters of other persons, which do not concern them:

speaking things which they ought not;
which either are not true, and, if they are, are not to be spoken of, and carried from place to place: this is a very great inconvenience, the apostle observes, arising from the admission of such young widows to be relieved and maintained at the church's charge.

1 Timoteo 5:13 In-Context

11 Las viudas más jóvenes no deberían estar en la lista, porque sus deseos físicos podrán más que su devoción a Cristo y querrán volver a casarse.
12 De esa manera, serían culpables de romper su promesa anterior.
13 Y, si están en la lista, se acostumbrarán a ser perezosas y pasarán todo el tiempo yendo de casa en casa chismeando, entrometiéndose en la vida de los demás y hablando de lo que no deben.
14 Así que yo aconsejo a estas viudas jóvenes que vuelvan a casarse, que tengan hijos y que cuiden de sus propios hogares. Entonces el enemigo no podrá decir nada en contra de ellas.
15 Pues me temo que algunas ya se han descarriado y ahora siguen a Satanás.
