1 Timothy 5:11-15
21st Century King James Version
11 But the younger widows refuse, for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry,
12 having damnation because they have cast off their first faith.
13 And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 It is my will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For some have already turned aside after Satan.

1 Timothy 5:11-15
American Standard Version
11 But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; 12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first [a]pledge. 13 And withal they learn also to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I desire therefore that the younger [b]widows marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling: 15 for already some are turned aside after Satan.
