1 Timothy 5:12-14
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
12 having condemnation [upon themselves] because[a] they set-aside their first pledge. 13 And at the same time also they are learning to be idle[b], while going-around the houses. And not only idle, but also babblers and busybodies— speaking the things not being proper. 14 Therefore, I want younger widows to marry, to bear-children, to manage-the-house[c], to give to the one opposing no opportunity for the sake of reviling[d].

New International Version
12 Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge. 13 Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies(A) who talk nonsense,(B) saying things they ought not to. 14 So I counsel younger widows to marry,(C) to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander.(D)
