1 Timothy 5:11-15 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

11. But don’t put younger widows on that list. When their strong physical needs pull them away from their commitment to Christ, they will want to marry again.

12. Then they will be guilty of not doing what they first promised to do.

13. Also, these younger widows begin to waste their time going from house to house. They also begin to gossip and try to run other people’s lives. They say things they should not say.

14. So I want the younger widows to marry, have children, and take care of their homes. If they do this, our enemy will not have any reason to criticize them.

15. But some of the younger widows have already turned away to follow Satan.
