First Letter to Timothy

New Testament

But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;

having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.

Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.

For already some have turned aside after Satan.
