1 Timothy 5:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² They will be judged for ·not doing what they first promised to do [breaking/despising their first pledge]. ¹³ Besides that, they learn to ·waste their time [be idle], going from house to house. And they not only ·waste their time [are idlers] but also begin to gossip and ·busy themselves with other people’s lives [become busybodies/meddlers], saying things they should not say. ¹⁴ So I want the younger widows to marry, have children, and manage their homes. Then ·no enemy will [or the adversary will not; ^CSatan] have any ·reason [or opportunity] ·to criticize them [or for maligning/slandering (us/them)].
