1 Timothy 5:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]But [b]refuse the younger widows: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry.
12 Having damnation, because they have broken the first faith.
13 [c]And likewise also being idle they learn to go about from house to house: yea they are not only idle, but also prattlers and busybodies, speaking things which are not comely.

- 1 Timothy 5:11 The first reason why younger widows are not to be admitted to this ministry, to wit, because for the lightness of their age, they will at length shake off the burden that Christ hath laid upon them, and think rather upon marrying again: and so will forsake the ministry whereunto they had bound themselves.
- 1 Timothy 5:11 Take them not into the college of widows.
- 1 Timothy 5:13 Another reason: because they are for the most part prattlers and busybodies, and gadders up and down, neglecting their charge and duty.
