- But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
- Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
- And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
- I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
- For some are already turned aside after Satan.

- But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,
- thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.
- At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.
- Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;
- for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
