"But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;"
— 1 Timothy 5:11, World English Bible
“But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;”
“But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; ”
“But do not accept younger widows on the list, because their passions may lead them away from Christ and they will desire to marry,”
“But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:”
“But to the younger widows say No: for when their love is turned away from Christ, they have a desire to be married;”
“But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;”
But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
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 insulting.
