1 Timothy 5:11-15
Christian Standard Bible
11 But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when they are drawn away from Christ by desire, they want to marry(A) 12 and will therefore receive condemnation(B) because they have renounced their original pledge. 13 At the same time, they also learn to be idle, going from house to house; they are not only idle, but are also gossips(C) and busybodies, saying things they shouldn’t say. 14 Therefore, I want younger women to marry,(D) have children, manage their households, and give the adversary no opportunity to accuse us.(E) 15 For some have already turned away(F) to follow Satan.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when their sensual desires alienate them from Christ, they want to marry, 12 and so they incur condemnation for having violated their first pledge. 13 Besides that, they learn to be idle, gadding about from house to house, and they are not merely idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not say.(A) 14 So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, and manage their households, so as to give the adversary no occasion to revile us.(B) 15 For some have already turned away to follow Satan.
