11. But younger widows decline; for when they grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
12. being guilty, because they have cast off their first faith.
13. And, at the same time, they learn also to be idle, going about to people's houses; and not only idle, but also gossipers and meddlers, speaking things not becoming.
14. I will therefore that the younger marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary in respect of reproach.
15. For already some have turned aside after Satan.
16. If any believing man or woman have widows, let them impart relief to them, and let not the assembly be charged, that it may impart relief to those that are widows indeed.
